1122.0. "Question about Robots and Empire" by CARROL::ARCH () Fri Dec 04 1992 17:32

can someone help me?  I know the 3 foundation/empire book titles, and the
4th in the series..."Robots and empire".

there's a book that has the guy finding the planet Gaia,

there's a book where the earth is destroyed though increasing the radioactivity
of the earth's crust.

then there's the 'connection' book where the guy who found Gaia is now looking
for something furhter, and he brings a girl to R. Daniel O.  I forget the
name of this book.

I'm a little confused about all the different books' names.  Can anyone help me?

thanks

Bruce

	re .1, I think the one about the Earth's crust becoming radioactive is called Robots and Empire, not Robots and Earth. I guess the sequence (in internal chronology) is: Assorted robot short stories Caves of Steel Naked Sun The Robots of Dawn Robots and Empire Prelude to Foundation Foundation Foundation and Empire Second Foundation Foundation's Edge Foundation and Earth Anyone care to fill in the gaps.

	Was in this conference looking for something else, but saw this note. "Pebble in the Sand" is in there too between Robots and Empire and Prelude, I think. This has some stuff about the early empire, if I remember right. Burns
1122.4	"Pebble in the Sky" and "Currents of Space"	TWOLLY::WAJENBERG	Superficially normal.	`Wed Dec 16 1992 15:51`	9
	I think the title was "Pebble in the Sky," and is set during the heyday of the first empire, when it ruled the whole galaxy. The main character was an elderly man from the 20th century, thrown into the far future by a freak accident at a nuclear reactor. There is also "The Currents of Space" (I think the title was), set before the empire contained the whole galaxy. Earl Wajenberg
1122.5		KERNEL::JACKSON	Peter Jackson - UK CSC TP/IM	`Thu Dec 17 1992 07:40`	6
	As I remember it "Pebble in the Sky" comes before "The Currents of Space". There are also references to End of Eternity in one of the later books, however it does not really fit with the others. Peter
1122.6		REGENT::BROOMHEAD	Don't panic -- yet.	`Mon Jan 04 1993 10:28`	6
	Of course it doesn't! It's about the playing around with Time that eventually produces that highly-unlikely universe. (Presumably, after the end of the book, someone made a mistake, and their tweaking made them impossible.) Ann B.
