Kalgash knows only the perpetual light of day; for more than two millennia, some combination of its six suns has lit up the sky. But twilight is gathering. Soon the suns will set all at once&#8212;and the terrifying splendor of Nightfall will call forth a madness that signals the end of civilization. Isaac Asimov's short story "Nightfall" first appeared in 1941. It has since become recognized as a classic, its author a legend. But the short story isn't the <i>whole</i> story. Now, Dr. Asimov has teamed with multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner Robert Silverberg to explore and expand one of the most awe-inspiring concepts in the history of science fiction. In this novel, you will witness Nightfall&#8212;and much more. You will learn what happens at Daybreak. 858297 1990 Nightfall total:2043|5:613|4:722|3:586|2:104|1:18| 2043 7937 2459 85 4 1 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 23:51:36 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 23:51:36 -0700 2009
