For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme.
Now it is dying. But only Hari Sheldon, creator of the
revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future--to
a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last
thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind,
Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire--both scientists and
scholars--and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the
Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a fututre generations. He
calls his sanctuary the Foundation.
But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of
corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire.
Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit
to the barbarians and be overrun--or fight them and be destroyed.
