Foundation and chaos

Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy has become an SF classic and the series has sold more than 5 million copies. Now, HarperPrism continues the legacy with the Second Foundation Trilogy, three new novels written by the brightest stars in contemporary science fiction.In this second volume, the story begins with R. Daneel Olivaw, a robot who has spent 20,000 years patiently helping to guide humanity to long-term survival and dominance in the known universe. Just as Olivaw is about to establish new hope for the scientific advancement of civilization and survival through the impending New Dark Ages, threats appear from all sides: positronic pitfalls, a robot rebellion, and if that isn't enough, a young girl with extraordinary mental powers strong enough to threaten the very basis of society. All this, and he's overdue for a positronic renewal. Will the run-down robot rise to the challenge?
