    A mysterious incident in Russia, a blip buried in the news - it’s the only warning humanity receives that civilization will soon be destroyed by a single, voracious virus that creates monsters of men. A lawyer, still grieving over the death of his young wife, begins to write as a form of therapy. But he never expected that his anonymous blog and journal would ultimately record humanity’s last days. Governments scramble to stop the zombie virus, people panic, so-called Safe Havens are established, the world erupts into chaos; soon it’s every man, woman, and child for themselves.

    A grown man weeps and vomits his way through a zombie apocalypse. I have never heard of a grown man spending so much time crying, even over boo-boos.

    For 12,000 years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Sheldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future, to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last 30,000 years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire, both scientists and scholars, and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a fututre generations.

    Story
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    Everything but the narrator.


    What could Isaac Asimov have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    less cloak and dagger. less political maneuvering.


    What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    His melodramatic style is the only thing that made it bearable.


    Could you see Foundation being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

    God No.


    Any additional comments?

    There has to be a better story than the machinations of a futuristic version of the Roman Catholic Church.
