From a grandmaster of science fiction comes Forward the Foundation, the crowning achievement of a great writer’s life, a moving testament to the creative genius of Isaac Asimov.
When Hari Seldon struggles to perfect his revolutionary theory of psychohistory and ensure a place for humanity among the stars, the great Galactic Empire totters on the brink of apocalyptic collapse. Caught in the maelstrom are Seldon and all he holds dear, pawns in the struggle for dominance.
Whoever can control Seldon will control psychohistory—and with it the future of the Galaxy. Will Seldon be lured by political intrigue or caught in a war that threatens to consume human civilization?
