Four centuries into Hari Seldon's planned Interregnum, the two Foundations continue their silent struggle, guiding humanity toward a new Galactic Empire. While the First Foundation flourishes, the Second Foundation, thought extinct, secretly manipulates events through its mastery of the mental sciences. Councilman Golan Trevize, however, believes the Second Foundation still endures and fears its ultimate bid for power, leading to his exile to the ancient, desolate world of Trantor.
Accompanying Trevize is Janov Pelorat, a historian obsessed with discovering Earth, the fabled origin world of humanity. On Trantor, their disparate quests converge, unraveling truths about both the Second Foundation and the very roots of the human race that are stranger and more profound than either could have imagined.
