Books with title Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation

Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels are one of the great masterworks of science fiction. As unsurpassed blend of nonstop action, daring ideas, and extensive world-building, they chronicle the struggle of a courageous group of men and women dedicated to preserving humanity's light in a galaxy plunged into a nightmare of ignorance and violence thirty thousand years long.

The Mule is coming closer to finding the Second Foundation. However, each time, it slips out of reach. Now, the Second Foundation has come out of hiding to directly face the threat. Its members are some of the brightest and most intelligent humans in the galaxy: the descendants of Seldon's psychohistorians. The Second Foundation has been researching into the mental sciences. It uses its strongest members to manipulate the Mule into becoming a benevolent leader, erasing his destructive attitude forever. The Second Foundation has won this battle, but the First is on its tail, primed to attack. But before they can annihilate it, they need to find it. That's easier said than done, for Hari Seldon tells them that they will find it "at Star's End". Even if they find it, the Second Foundation is ready for attack.
