Worse still, a dying alien chieftain gives them a priceless drive of intel, marking them for death. The mission has officially changed. With enemies on all sides, Magnus must do everything in his power to protect the emissary and escape the tower.

They first appear as a series of dots on astronomical plates, heading from Saturn directly toward Earth. Since the ringed planet carries no life, scientists deduce the mysterious ship to be a visitor from another star. The world's frantic efforts to signal the aliens go unanswered. The first contact is hostile: the invaders blast a Soviet space station, seize the survivors, and then destroy every dam and installation on Earth with a hail of asteriods.

In The Quantum Universe, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw approach the world of quantum mechanics in the same way they did in Why Does E=mc2? and make fundamental scientific principles accessible - and fascinating - to everyone.The subatomic realm has a reputation for weirdness, spawning any number of profound misunderstandings, journeys into Eastern mysticism, and woolly pronouncements on the interconnectedness of all things. Cox and Forshaw's contention? There is no need for quantum mechanics to be viewed this way.

Publisher's Summary
WINNER OF THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST ALL-TIME SERIES
The Foundation series is Isaac Asimov’s iconic masterpiece. Unfolding against the backdrop of a crumbling Galactic Empire, the story of Hari Seldon’s two Foundations is a lasting testament to an extraordinary imagination, one that shaped science fiction as we know it today.
After a long war which saw the First Foundation emerge victorious, the Second Foundation is now believed to be extinct, and all records of planet Earth’s existence have been erased.
No one suspects that the Second Foundation could still exist. None, except Council member Golan Trevize, who finds himself ordered to leave Terminus, accompanied by historian Janov Pelorat, in order to find it.
Yet this quest will lead an unsuspecting Golan further than he could have possibly imagined – closer than ever to Earth, where the fate of the whole galaxy awaits him.

A good development and extension of the series
I've been happy to revisit the ‘Foundation’ saga again after about 30 years. I read them as a late-teen, and I am a very big fan of Asimov to this day. The audiobook performance on all these titles is excellent with the narrator providing a good array of different voices for all the characters.
This story has many of the same concerns that started to pop up in ‘Second Foundation’ with the First Foundation’s worries about their free will being dominated by the mysterious mental powered Second Foundation. It then further complicates things by bringing in another actor who may be influencing and controlling both from afar, yet the Foundations themselves are heading towards fascism (especially the first). The themes of individualism, collectivism, fascism, and the nature of free will vs pre-determination (competitive ideas from the Cold War milieu) are thus pertinent and highly present in this volume of the tale. I really liked that the tensions are very high throughout the story. Asimov keeps you interested enough to continue following along until we find some sort of cadence/resolution which may not be to everyone's liking. Thankfully, the protagonist himself goes on to question this in the very next volume ‘Foundation and Earth' so we get more story to follow. This is great Sci-Fi from one of the giants of the form.
