From the Publisher:

A stunning testament to his creative genius. Forward The Foundation is a the saga's dramatic climax -- the story Asimov fans have been waiting for. An exciting tale of danger, intrigue, and suspense, Forward The Foundation brings to vivid life Asimov's best loved characters: hero Hari Seldon, who struggles to perfect his revolutionary theory of psychohistory to ensure the survival of humanity; Cleon II, the vain and crafty emperor of the Galactic Empire, doomed as the last scion of a fading dynasty; Eto Demerzel, the mysterious eminence grise of the palace, who wields the power of the throne and guards the fledgling Foundation; Dors Venabili, Seldon's devoted wife, whose life mission is to protect her husband-whatever the cost; and Wanda Seldon, Hari's stangely gifted granddaughter, whom he entrusts with this greatest creation -- the Second Foundation.
