Trying to recall title of an Isaac Asimov book -- |
|
the one where Giskard comes up with the Zeroth Law.
Is it also the same story where Giskard contaminates the land with radiation?

It's links to the "Foundation Series" page & I should be able to find it there.

4. It Might Be "Foundation and Earth" or "Robots and Empire" |

I will check both titles out.
I used to have his entire collecion of sci fi. Over the years it's gone missing. I remember "Robots of Dawn" and the Zeroth Law story being two of my faves.
Thanks again.

6. Great Stuff, Though I Would Recommend Reading them All In Order |
|
Robot series through Foundation series, though some of them are hard to find because they're out of print (I had to go online to find the out of print one's). If you're really ambitious, as I was, you can read the books that are in between Robot's and Foundation that has to do w/ the creation of the galactic empire, Pebble in the Sky, The Currents of Space and The Stars Like Dust (tangentially related, but not essential to the Robot/Foundation meta-series)...You can also read the continuation of the Foundation series that was carried on by Brin, Bear and Benford (each wrote a novel continuing the series that was approved by Aasimov's estate and they're pretty good and true to the spirit of the originals).

7. Wiki says: Robots And Empire... |
|
...which is indeed the one that ends with the radiating of Earth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroth_Law_of_Robotics
