The Foundation, established after the Old Empire gives way to barbarism, fights against a mutant strain called the Mule and tries to get rid of the Second Foundation after learning it will inherit a future Empire.
Tive uma experiencia muito melhor nessa segunda tentativa de leitura e foi simplesmente uma questão de expectativa. Na época tinha acabo de sair de leituras como Leviatã Desperta e Guerra do Velho e esperava algo como um grande épico espacial com guerras e batalhas, mas esse é um livro sobre política, manipulação, paranoia e determinismo.
I'm writing this a few months after I finished the book, and to be honest, I can't remember how it ended.
So much of the action happens off screen, it's baffling. I was wondering how someone would turn this into a TV show (which I haven't seen). Oh, and there's practically no women in the story.
But I finished the book, so it couldn't have been all that bad.
