Someone was trying to kill Biron Farril, just as someone had murdered his father. And behind that threat lay all the might of Tyrann--Tyrann, the ruthless, barbaric Empire that was ravaging and absorbing all of the Nebular Kingdoms.
He fled from Earth into space, seeking sanctuary. But all he found was betrayal and the need to flee again--into further betrayal.
Now Biron was being forced to become a betrayer. Somewhere there was a rebellion world, and he was sure he knew the location. But he was in the hands of Aratap, powerful Autarch of Tyrann, and he must either betray the woman he loved or the rebellion world that offered the only hope for the future!

About the Author
Isaac Asimov began his Foundation series at the age of twenty-one, not realizing that it would one day be considered a cornerstone of science fiction. During his legendary career, Asimov penned more than 470 books on subjects ranging from science to Shakespeare to history, though he was most loved for his award-winning science fiction sagas, which include the Robot, Empire, and Foundation series. Named a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Asimov entertained and educated readers of all ages for close to five decades. He died, at the age of seventy-two, in April 1992.
