Publisher’s Blurb – Lower Cover
The old First Empire lies shattered in its decadence. It has been swept from the Milky Way's bright spiral by the inexorably expanding forces of the First Foundation, established by psychohistorian Hari Seldon Plan – the only man to have foreseen the shifting patterns of the inhabited cosmos.

But not even Seldon could have predicted the mutant menace of the Mule – a being of terrifying supernormal powers who, in his search for the Second Foundation, the mysterious hidden guardians of Seldon's plan, precipiates a savage power struggle that lays waste whole star systems . . .

The two preceding volumes, FOUNDATION and FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE, of the trilogy are also available in Panther Books.
