Foundation's Edge (1982) is a
science fiction novel by
Isaac Asimov, the fourth book in the
Foundation Series. It was written more than thirty years after the stories of the original
Foundation trilogy, due to years of pressure by fans and editors on Asimov to write another, and, according to Asimov himself, the amount of the payment offered by the publisher. It was his first novel to ever land on
The New York Times best-seller list, after 262 books and 44 years of writing.
Foundation's Edge won the
Hugo Award for
Best Novel in 1983, and was nominated for the
Nebula Award for
Best Novel in 1982.
