Nightfall (Bantam Spectra Book)

by Isaac Asimov, Robert Silverberg

These two renowned writers have invented a world not unlike our own--a world on the edge of chaos, torn between the madness of religious fanaticism and the stubborn denial of scientists. Only a handful of people on the planet Lagash are prepared to face the truth--that their six suns are setting all at once for the first time in 2,000 years, signaling the end of civilization!.

Nightfall is by far the most famous and perhaps even most popular story of Asimov, and perhaps rivals 2001 A Space Odyssey by Arthur Clark as far as readers and science fiction afficionados go.

A story of a primal and primitive terror that takes over in spite of all progress of science and knowledge.

All it takes is a night of dark, even when it is expected with scientific progress informing people that it will happen occassionally, and will be only a short while before...
