Product Description:
Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels are one of the great masterworks of science fiction. As unsurpassed blend of nonstop action, daring ideas, and extensive world-building, they chronicle the struggle of a courageous group of men and women dedicated to preserving humanity's light in a galaxy plunged into a nightmare of ignorance and violence thirty thousand years long.
After years of struggle, the Foundation lies in ruins—destroyed by the mutant mind power of the Mule. But it is rumored that there is a Second Foundation hidden somewhere at the end of the Galaxy, established to preserve the knowledge of mankind through the long centuries of barbarism. The Mule failed to find it the first time—but now he is certain he knows where it lies.
The fate of the Foundation rests on young Arcadia Darell, only fourteen years old and burdened with a terrible secret. As its scientists gird for a final showdown with the Mule, the survivors of the First Foundation begin their desperate search. They too want the Second Foundation destroyed…before it destroys them.

In this book, the third of the original "Foundation" novels, Asimov continues to shine. This book is even stronger than its two predecessors, which are masterpieces in themselves. Asimov has again created memorable characters, a whirlwind plot and relentless action. In this novel, however, even Asimov reaches new heights regarding the series of plot twists leading up the book's conclusion, which will leave you breathless. This book is simply incredible in every way and is essential reading for ... Read More

Second Foundation (despite its title) is the third part of the original Foundation trilogy by Isaac Asimov, and it's a hell of a good book, as well as an extremely bleak book in its portrayal of the human future. The first part, Search By The Mule, published as Now You See It... in the January, 1948 edition of Astounding Science Fiction, concerns the search for the Second Foundation of Hari Seldon by the mutant who has conquered almost the whole of the galaxy within a few years, including the First ...

Great book! Third in the series of three novels, all three are worth the read. I read all three in about two and half weeks. It might be interesting to read them in conjunction with Kuhn's Structures of Scientific Revolutions. Every "Seldon Crisis" brings about a "new world". Really fun stuff. Don't miss out!

The original finale of the Foundation trilogy that Asimov eventually expanded on both ends, this installment has a little more plot interest, but suffers from a tentative ending, as if Asimov knew he would revisit it,
He did, many years later, with Foundation's Edge (Foundation Novels) and Forward the Foundation (Foundation Novels).
Rating: -
If you started with "Foundation", went on to "Foundation and Empire" and did not read the prequels, this is a high note to go out on. Your own internal loyalty will be tested between Foundation and Second Foundation - your old alliegance is to the Foundation, but is the Second Foundation a necessary evil? Iconic stuff of a level of art rarely reached in science fiction.
