Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy is one of the high-water marks of science fiction.  It is the monumental story of a Galactic Empire in decline, and the secret society of scientists who seek to shorten the inevitable Dark Age with the science of psychohistory.  Now with the permission - and blessing - of the Asimov estate the epic saga continues.

Fate - and a cruel Emperor's arbitrary power - have thrust Hari Seldon into the First Ministership of the Empire against his will.  As the story opens, Hari is about to leave his quiet professorship and take on the all but impossible task of administering twenty-five million inhabited worlds from the all-steel planet of Trantor.  With the help of his beautiful bio-engineered "wife" Dors and his alien companion Yugo, Seldon is still developing the science that will transform history, never dreaming that it will untimately pit him against future history's most awesome threat.

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.
