==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> ''Foundation's Edge'' won both the [[Hugo Award]] for [[Hugo Award for Best Novel|Best Novel]] in 1983<ref name="nyt830906">{{cite news |agency=Associated Press |work=The New York Times |title=Isaac Asimov Novel Wins a Hugo Award |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/09/06/books/isaac-asimov-novel-wins-a-hugo-award.html |date=September 6, 1983 |access-date=March 29, 2010}}</ref><ref name="WWE-1983">{{cite web| url = http://www.worldswithoutend.com/books_year_index.asp?year=1983| title = 1983 Award Winners & Nominees| work = Worlds Without End| access-date=2009-09-13}}</ref> and the [[Locus Award]] for [[Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel|Best Science Fiction Novel]] in 1983;<ref name="WWE-1983"/> the book was nominated for the [[Nebula Award]] for [[Nebula Award for Best Novel|Best Novel]] in 1982.<ref name="WWE-1982">{{cite web| url = http://www.worldswithoutend.com/books_year_index.asp?year=1982| title = 1982 Award Winners & Nominees| work = Worlds Without End| access-date=2009-09-13}}</ref>
