THE EPIC THAT FOREVER CHANGED THE SCIENCE FICTION CONTINUUM CONTINUES ITS JOURNEY EVEN FURTHER... We find ourselves four hundred ninety-eight years after the founding of the First Foundation, which is at the peak of its power – yet, there is someone who cannot accept that all is as it seems...

The painful war between the two Foundations had come to an end. The scientists of the First Foundation had proven victorious, returning to Hari Seldon's long-term Plan to build a new Galactic Empire. However, there are some who insist that the Second Foundation has not actually been destroyed – and that its survivors are plotting their revenge.

Two exiled citizens of the Foundation, a rebellious city councilor and an eccentric historian, embark on a quest to find the mythical planet Earth – and evidence that the Second Foundation still exists. Meanwhile, someone – or something – outside the two Foundations seems to be directing events for its own dark purposes. Soon, representatives of both the First and Second Foundations will converge upon the mysterious Gaia and the ultimate shocking fate of the Galaxy!

The fourth part of Isaac Asimov's epic was honored with the Hugo and Locus awards, and was also nominated for the Nebula award.
