Book Description:
It is the year 12,020 G.E. and Emperor Cleon I sits uneasily on the Imperial throne of Trantor. Here in the great multidomed capital of the Galactic Empire, forty billion people have created a civilization of unimaginable technological and cultural complexity. Yet Cleon knows there are those who would see him fall - those whom he would destroy if only he could read the future.
Hari Seldon has come to Trantor to deliver his paper on psychohistory, his remarkable theory of prediction. Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity. For Hari possesses the prophetic power that makes him the most wanted man in the Empire... the man who holds the key to the future - an apocalyptic power to be know forever after as the Foundation.

Go back in time to before the foundation series. Find out about how Hari Seldon manuveurs events to start his plan & who is still around to guide him.
Like most S/F junkies, I have read most of Asimov's stuff. I often find myself re-reading old stuff thanks to the Covershuffle scam, but his work goes down easily a second time, so I stifle my screams of outrage. If you liked the Foundation series, Prelude is a "must read".
William B. (This was as good as the original or almost as good in my opinion.
Michael G. (Book Zero of the foundation series, added years later to answer questions and explain the beginning of the foundation series.
