Science fiction-roman om en berømt matematiker, der har profeteret et verdensomspændende imperiums undergang og derfor grundlægger to kolonier, som i årenes løb gennemgår en lang række kriser.
A bit of poetry from the usually prosaic author---"As the rate of magnification slowed, the stars slipped off the four ends of the screen in a regretful leave-taking. At the rims of the glowing nebula, the brilliant universe of stars shone abruptly in token for that light which was merely hidden behind the swirling"---is concluded with "unradiating atom fragments of sodium and calcium that filled cubic parsecs of space." [p. 28] ("Unradiating" seems to be a new word that hasn't made it into common usage.) Women, who do not feature prominently in the trilogy, become more significant here. (It turns out that the series continues both backwards and forwards; I haven't read the rest of it.)
Nadace, Nadace a Říše, Druhá Nadace jsou trilogií skládající se z příběhů z historie vzdálené budoucnosti trvající více než milión let v době, kdy jsou planety v celé mléčné dráze spojené do obrovské Galaktické Říše. Třetí román série Nadace. Konání jednotlivé lidské bytosti je něčím nepředvídatelným – reakce lidských davů je však možné podrobit statistickému zpracování. Čím větší dav, tím větší přesnosti lze dosáhnout. A početnost lidských mas, se kterými Nadace pracuje, se rovná počtu obyvatel všech miliónů obydlených světů.
Two stories. In both of them two unlikely bed-fellows hare off across the galaxy in search of the Second Foundation. They’re not too bad. The first one is particularly snappy. The writing’s mostly ok, with occasional outbursts of writing so bad you just wonder how it could have happened. The themes of manipulation and deceit are picked up again for the first time since the first half of Foundation and there’s one particular element that Asimov was going to pick up and run with when he came back to the series years later. I can’t help feeling it’s too little too late. I get the impression that this original trilogy has been ill thought out by an inexperienced writer. Even here in the conclusion both stories with the same basic set-up, though they’re quite different in other ways. You could entirely do away with Foundation and Empire. What this series needs is another book to bring it to a satisfying conclusion. ( )
The conclusion of the epic sci-fi Foundation trilogy and the 13th in what can be seen as the "extended" 15 book Foundation Series. Here we see the 2nd Foundation revealed and also the whole of the Foundation Series falls into neatly into place at the exciting conclusion. ( )

The First Galactic Empire had endured for tens of thousands of years. Prologue
THE MULE It was after the fall of the First Foundation that the constructive aspects of the Mule's regime took shape. Headnote
There is much more that the Encyclopedia has to say on the subject of the Mule and his Empire but almost all of it is not germane to the issue at immediate hand, and most of it is considerably too dry for our purposes in any case. Text

Ten months earlier, the First Speaker had viewed those same crowding stars - nowhere as crowded as at the center of that huge cluster of matter Man calls the Galaxy - with misgivings; but now there was a somber satisfaction on the round and ruddy face of Preem Palver—First Speaker.
