WINNER OF THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST ALL-TIME SERIES

The Foundation series is Isaac Asimov’s iconic masterpiece. Unfolding against the backdrop of a crumbling Galactic Empire, the story of Hari Seldon’s two Foundations is a lasting testament to an extraordinary imagination, one that shaped science fiction as we know it today.

After a long war which saw the First Foundation emerge victorious, the Second Foundation is now believed to be extinct, and all records of planet Earth’s existence have been erased.

No one suspects that the Second Foundation could still exist. None, except Council member Golan Trevize, who finds himself ordered to leave Terminus, accompanied by historian Janov Pelorat, in order to find it.

Yet this quest will lead an unsuspecting Golan further than he could have possibly imagined – closer than ever to Earth, where the fate of the whole galaxy awaits him.

In their journey, they encounter alien species and face hard challenges, turning their mission into a thrilling space opera. The exploration of unknown territories and contact with new civilizations bring them closer to the truth, making this one of the best classics in the genre.

For fans of Frank Herbert (Children Of Dune), Robert Heinlein (Stranger in a Strange Land), Dan Simmons (The Terror), James S. A. Corey (Nemesis Games), and Ursula K. Le Guin (The Left Hand of Darkness).
