各界推薦 艾西莫夫是廿世紀三大科幻大師之一,也是舉世聞名的全能通俗作家,近年兩部機器人科幻巨片「變人」與「機械公敵」,便是根據他的名著改編。本書即是艾西莫夫科幻代表作「基地三部曲」的第二部。本系列擊敗了「魔戒」系列,奪得了「永遠的最佳系列小說」的美名。而貫穿三部曲的重要人物,就是心理史學宗師之父哈里‧謝頓,由他牽引出這一部縱橫十萬光年的銀河未來史。 「基地」經過近二百年勵精圖治,憑藉優越的科技,征服了星際間眾多政治勢力,成為霸主。帝國雖已江河日下,仍舊擁有銀河中最強大的武力。為了恢復昔日的光榮,一位驍勇善戰的將軍奉命遠征。他所率領的星際艦隊勢如破竹,令基地大軍毫無招架之力。然而,縱使是具有神鬼莫測之機的謝頓,也無法預料到由於一個人的崛起,銀河的歷史會因而改寫……
