THE FOUNDATION CYCLE:
In a distant future, humanity has spread throughout the galaxy and the capital is the planet Trantor. A mathematician invented a new science to predict the future with the help of mathematics. He made the discovery while the Galactic Empire will collapse leading humanity into a long period of barbarism and it is impossible to prevent. The events are already engaged, but he decided to start a mechanism to minimize the period of barbarism, for the good of humanity, leading eventually the emergence of a new empire.
The story of this novel is the progress of this period leading to the new Empire: Political negotiations, of coups, political crises, uprisings and manipulations of empires against other empires and emergence of important figures that will mark the history of humanity in the distant future. It is, a little, a historical novel of the future.
Do not doubt and do not miss the chance to immerse yourself in this compelling story. WARNING But, if you read the first book, you can not prevent you from playing all the other !!!
