Foundation and Earth

Scientist Gari Seldon, founder of a new science—psychohistory—proved in his works the inevitability of the collapse of the Galactic Empire that united millions of inhabited worlds. To prevent civilization from falling into the abyss of the approaching chaos, Seldon developed a detailed plan to restore the Empire. To carry it out, he created two Academies at opposite ends of the Galaxy, bringing together the best minds of humanity. It seemed nothing could interfere with the great Seldon Plan, but human ambition led to conflict between the Academies, and humanity was again left on the brink of disaster…

The final book in the “Academy” series by the great Isaac Asimov. Finalist for the Stalker Prize for Best Novel. Hugo Award for Best Series of All Time.

Something mysterious and ancient is waiting for them—older than the Empire itself…
