 DISCOVER THE SAGA BEHIND THE APPLE TV+ ORIGINAL SERIES

From a grand master of science fiction comes the long awaited final novel of one of the greatest series ever told. Completed just before his death, FORWARD THE FOUNDATION is a crowning achievement and stirring testament to the creative genius of Isaac Asimov.

As Hari Seldon struggles to perfect his revolutionary theory of psychohistory and ensure a place for humanity among the stars, the once-mighty Galactic Empire totters on the brink of apocalyptic collapse. Caught in the maelstrom are Seldon and all he holds dear, pawns in the struggle for dominance. Whoever can control Seldon will control psychohistory—and with it the future of the galaxy.

Among those seeking to turn psychohistory into the greatest weapon known to man are a populist political demagogue, the weak-willed Emperor Cleon I, and a ruthless militaristic general. In his last act of service to humankind, Hari Seldon must somehow save his life's work from their grasp as he searches for his true heirs—a search that begins with his own granddaughter and the dream of a new Foundation.

Critic Reviews

‘One of the most staggering achievements in modern SF’ The Times

‘Isaac Asimov was one of the great explainers of the age…It will never be known how many practicing scientists today, in how many countries, owe their initial inspiration to a book, article, or short story by Isaac Asimov’ Carl Sagan

‘Asimov displayed one of the most dynamic imaginations in science fiction’ Daily Telegraph

The novel finally sheds light on beginnings of the foundation under the nose of a crumbling Trantor. But more important was Hari Seldon's story, a mystical figure in the later Foundation series which this book concludes in a very real and authentic way. You can almost feel the moments of helplessness and triump as Seldon tries to overcome pain and make something of a hopeless situation.
