"EXCITING AND WELL WRITTEN."
- Publishers Weekly

Isaac Asimov's renowned Foundation Trilogy pioneered many of the familiar themes of modern science fiction and shaped many of its best writers. With the permission and blessing of the Asimov estate, the epic saga left unfinished by the Gand Master himself now continues with this second masterful volume....

With Hari Seldon on trial for treason, the Galactic Empire's long-anticipated migration to Star's End is about to begin. But the mission's billiant robot leader, R. Daneel Olivaw, has discovered a potential enemy for deadlier - and closer - than he ever imagined. One of his own kind.

A freak accident erases the basic commandments in humaniform robot Lodovik Trema's positronic brain. Now Lodovik's service to humankind is no longer bound by destiny, but by will. To ensure his loyalty, Daneel has Lodovik secretly reprogrammed. But can her be trusted? Now, other robots are beginning to question their mission - and Daneel's strategy. And stirrings of rebellion, too, are infecting their human counterparts. Among them is a young woman with awesome psychic abilities, a reluctant leader with the power to join man and robot in a quest for common freedom... or mutual destruction.

THE FOUNDATION SAGA CONTINUES

Read Gregory Benford's Foundation's Fear, the first novel in this bold new series, and Foundation's Triumph, the concluding volume from David Brin.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
