After the defeat of the Mule by the Second Foundation, Terminus enjoys a period of prosperity and stability which is publicly attributed to the Seldon Plan, but which some feel is the work of the Second Foundation. A search is begun to determine if the Second Foundation still exists. Meanwhile, the Second Foundation finds that there is evidence of an independent force acting against the Mule to protect the Seldon Plan. A search is launched to determine what this force is and if it is a threat. The end result is a search for Earth (Terminus being the last planet settled by the galactic empire and Earth being the metaphoric opposite of first human planet settled). A final three way confrontation results in a fateful decision and an open question.

Auch nach der Trilogie schafft Asimov es, ohne viel Action, eine spannende Story zu liefern.
Nachdem die beiden Foundations scheinbar ein stabile Equilibrium erreicht haben, regt sich eine neue Macht und alles droht zu kippen.
This started out slowly and I was convinced my rating would be lower than the previous ones in the Foundation series, but it took on a whole new twist to the series unlike the previous ones and in the end I enjoyed it very much.
