Foundation and Empire

Foundation and Empire tells the story of a new breed of men who create a new force for galactic government. Thus, the Foundation hurtles into conflict with the decadent, decrepit First Empire. In this struggle for power amid the chaos of the stars, humanity stands at the threshold of a new, enlightened life that could easily be put aside for the old forces of barbarism. The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov constitute what is arguably the most celebrated epic in all of science fiction.
