With these words, a frail, dying Hari Seldon completes his life’s work. The old man has just recorded messages for the Time Vault of the First Foundation. And psychohistory’s Seldon Plan is unleashed, propelled by the ponderous momentum of destiny. Younger hands will now take up the task.
But Seldon knows that neither the First nor the Second Foundation will provide ultimate solutions. The Seldon Plan has three possible outcomes. None of them fills him with joy but he is consoled by the thought that any of the three is better than the chaos that would have happened without him.
However, the future still holds some surprises for Hari Seldon.
With FOUNDATION’S TRIUMPH, David Brin concludes the Second Foundation Trilogy, a dazzling addition to Isaac Asimov’s classic series by three of science fiction’s most acclaimed authors.
