Asimov's Foundation novels are one of the great masterworks of science
fiction. As unsurpassed blend of nonstop action, daring ideas, and
extensive world-building, they chronicle the struggle of a courageous
group of men and women dedicated to preserving humanity's light in a
galaxy plunged into a nightmare of ignorance and violence thirty thousand
years long.
After years of struggle, the Foundation lies in ruins—destroyed by the
mutant mind power of the Mule. But it is rumored that there is a Second
Foundation hidden somewhere at the end of the Galaxy, established to
preserve the knowledge of mankind through the long centuries of barbarism.
The Mule failed to find it the first time—but now he is certain he knows
where it lies.
The fate of the Foundation rests on young Arcadia Darell, only fourteen
years old and burdened with a terrible secret. As its scientists gird for
a final showdown with the Mule, the survivors of the First Foundation
begin their desperate search. They too want the Second Foundation
destroyed…before it destroys them.
