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.

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.
