What this book is about
The third Foundation novel follows the Mule's search for the secret Second Foundation—and then the First Foundation's attempts to find and destroy it. Asimov's conclusion to his original trilogy delivers his most psychic-power-focused plotting and the series' signature chess-game plotting at its most satisfying.
