Three classics of science fiction in one volume: Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation. As the Galactic Empire begins to die, Hari Seldon and his band of psychologists plant a colony, the Foundation, to preserve art, science and technology and form the nucleus of a Second Empire, its growth plotted by the science of psychohistory. Foundation and Empire covers the period after the Foundation gains peripheral power, its struggles with petty kingdoms and its rise to defeat the decaying First Empire. Second Foundation follows the hidden Plan and its greatest threat, a dangerous mutant, as the secretly evolved Second Foundation contends first with the mutant and then with the First Foundation.
