Looking for a summary of events in Foundation/Robot books

External Since: Jul 22, 2004 Posts: 3

I have read most of these twice, but not in the order of events. Without
taking the time right now (my list of to-be-read keeps growing!), I would
love to find a list of the events in their "correct" order. I know Asimov
didn't tie them together until later in life, but I would like to see the
full picture.

Is there such a summary anywhere, either on the net or published?

I recommend that you find the time to read them all in chronological
order, prefaced by The End of Eternity: you'll get a real feel for the
epic sweep of the stories and ideas. (If you travel to work, take the
bus/train/metro/whatever and lose yourself in the books!) If you really,
really, *really* can't be bothered with this, there's my "who's who".
Look under key entries like Earth, Trantor, Aurora, Baley, Olivaw, or
just browse. (I still recommend the originals though!)
