Description
The first of two prequel novels in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series
THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION
It is the year 12,020 G.E. and Emperor Cleon I sits uneasily on the Imperial throne of Trantor. Here in the great multidomed capital of the Galactic Empire, forty billion people have created a civilization of unimaginable technological and cultural complexity. Yet Cleon knows there are those who would see him fall—those whom he would destroy if only he could read the future.
Hari Seldon has come to Trantor to deliver his paper on psychohistory, his remarkable theory of prediction. Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity. For Hari possesses the prophetic power that makes him the most wanted man in the Empire . . . the man who holds the key to the future—an apocalyptic power to be known forever after as the Foundation.

- bioText: Isaac Asimov began his Foundation Series at the age of twenty-one, not realizing that it would one day be considered a cornerstone of science fiction. During his legendary career, Asimov penned over 470 books on subjects ranging from science to Shakespeare to histroy, though he was most loved for his award-winning science fiction sagas, whcih include the Robot, Empire, and Foundation series. Named a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Asimov entertained and educated readers of all ages for close to five decades. He died, at the age of seventy-two, in April 1992.

- content: In 1966 Isaac Asimov won the prestigious Hugo Award for the Foundation Trilogy. The books, written during WWII and the Korean War, describe the fall of the established order and the rise of new worlds. As the popular series was issued in its fifteenth printing, Asimov wrote this prequel. Larry McKeever is a slow, careful reader. He speaks clearly, not relying on distinctive voicing to delineate characters. Initially, his delivery seems wooden, but this is a long recording, and the style of presentation wears well. Occasionally there are inconsistencies in the sound level. Fans of the Foundation Trilogy will relish this new galactic adventure. L.R.S. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
