Summary:
From the creative genius who gave us
the Foundation, Robot, and Empire sagas
comes a stunning new world of
science fiction suspense... Nemesis

For close to forty years, Isaac Asimov has
thrilled millions of readers worldwide
with his renowned science fiction series-
Foundation, Robot, and Empire. Now, in
a major publishing event, the Grand Mas-
ter of Science Fiction brings to life his first
new world in nearly two decades-
Nemesis.

A.D. 2236. Earth and its one hundred
space colonies are crowded, anarchical,
socially degenerate. Some two light-years
distant, hidden in a corner of the Galaxy,
burns a star that neighbors Earth's Sun, a
star that supports its own burgeoning
planetary system: Megas, Erythro, and
Rotor, a renegade Earth colony. The star is
named Nemesis...

When Nemesis was discovered, it was
seen as the last hope for the human race, a
starting over point for a brave band of
adventurers led by the brilliant-if mega-
lomaniac-Commissioner Janus Pitt on
Rotor. Pitt and his loyal followers had se-
cretly detached themselves from Earth's
orbit and traveled via superluminal flight
to the Nemetic System to establish a new
Utopia-a society stronger, purer, and ul-
timately superior to the one left behind.

Now, however, a fifteen-year-old Ro-
torian girl has learned of the subtle yet
dire threat that Nemesis poses to Earth
and its people-but she is prevented from
warning them. For Pitt has dedicated his
life to ensuring that his new civilization
will be the supreme power of the Galaxy,
no matter what the cost. And he will not
let anything-or anyone-stand in his
way. But as Marlene digs deeper, she dis-
covers that Nemesis threatens not only
Earth but Rotor as well. And now it is up
to her to save both Earth and Rotor as,
drawn inexorably by Nemesis, the death
star, they hurtle toward sure disaster.
