Second Foundation

by Isaac Asimov
Second Foundation - Thryft
Second Foundation - Thryft

Galactic struggle for survival.

"If you are a science-fiction fan and enjoy stories that deal with the fate of humanity in the midst of a galactic-scale crisis, then Second Foundation is for you. Asimov's mastery of creating an elaborate universe and interweaving intriguing characters is on full display here, and his ability to blend action, adventure, and philosophical musings will keep you hooked until the very end."

Description

After years of struggle, the Foundation lies in ruins — destroyed by the mutant mind power of the Mule. But it is rumored that there is a Second Foundation hidden somewhere at the end of the Galaxy, established to preserve the knowledge of mankind through the long centuries of barbarism. The Mule failed to find it the first time — but now he is certain he knows where it lies.The fate of the Foundation rests on young Arkady Darell, only fourteen years old and burdened with a terrible secret. As its scientists gird for a final showdown with the Mule, the survivors of the First Foundation begin their desperate search. They too want the Second Foundation destroyed... before it destroys them.
