Dead Hand

Description

[A Foundation Novella] Imperial General Bel Riose and his ships comb the Periphery in search of the Foundation, the rumored domain of magicians and their fantastic technical wizardry. Anxious for the glory of battle in the name of Emperor Cleon II, Riose faces an opponent more powerful than any military force: the doomed fate of his campaign–and the decline of the Empire–that has already been mathematically proven by the late psycho-historian, Hari Seldon.
