• Asimov, Isaac: Robots/Empire/Foundation series (chronological order) (The original Foundation stories were published as magazine short fiction in the 1940s. In the 1950s, the stories were collected into the three volumes of "The Foundation Trilogy." In the 1980s, Asimov wrote new books in the series. Late in his life, Asimov linked the formerly-independent Robot and Empire/Foundation series. After his death, his heirs authorized a second "Foundation Trilogy" by three different authors. Chronologically, these books overlap Prelude to Foundation, Forward the Foundation, and Foundation.)
