Description

The third novel in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series

THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION

The Foundation lies in ruins—destroyed by a mutant mind bent on humanity’s annihilation. But it’s rumored that there’s a Second Foundation hidden somewhere at the end of the Galaxy, established as insurance to preserve the knowledge of mankind. Now a desperate race has begun between the survivors of the First Foundation and an alien entity to find this last flicker of humanity’s shining past—and future hope. Yet the key to it all might be a fourteen-year-old girl burdened with a terrible secret. Is she the Foundation’s savior—or its deadliest enemy?

Unforgettable, thought-provoking, and riveting, Second Foundation is a stunning novel of adventure and ideas writ huge across the Galaxy—a powerful tale of humankind’s struggle to preserve the fragile light of wisdom against the threat of its own dark barbarism.

    This is one lesson of many that we learn in the final book of the original Foundation trilogy. Engaging action builds to a satisfying conclusion. Another huge lesson from this trilogy- ignorance will destroy a civilization.

    These books are great but what happened to the other Foundation books? I was reading "Foundation and Earth" on my iPad, updated to iOS 5.0 and then couldn't find the book in the iBooks store!

    A masterfully written story that circles back on itself in surprising and clever ways. It was engaging and fun to read.
