Editing Foundation's Edge (section)

==Reception==
In a 1982 review of the novel, ''[[Kirkus Reviews]]'' states that "after a slowish start, then, the rather talky narrative here develops into grippingly effective drama—with oodles of twisty-turny plot, an engaging cast, and some enjoyably mellow humor{{nbsp}}... A grandmasterly performance."<ref>[https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/isaac-asimov/foundations-edge/ Kirkus Reviews. Issue Oct. 1, 1982]</ref>

[[David Langford]] reviewed ''Foundation's Edge'' for ''[[White Dwarf (magazine)|White Dwarf]]'' #39, and stated that "At 200,000 words, the sequel seems longer than the original series; endless pages of grey dialogue about the fate of the galaxy are on the whole boring, and the trilogy is weakened, not strengthened, by the addition. For example, the trilogy's goal of peaceful Galactic Empire is now rejected, presumably because of fascist implications: this is all very Politically Correct but converts the first three books to pointless chronicles of misguided effort. Remarkably, it's a US bestseller."<ref name="WD39">{{cite journal  | last =Langford | first =David | author-link =David Langford | title =Critical Mass  | journal =[[White Dwarf (magazine)|White Dwarf]]  | issue = 39  | pages =29  | publisher =[[Games Workshop]]  | date = March 1983  }}</ref>
