By jove, what?! In the eponymous book, the Second Foundation begins to come into focus. Just who are the Second Foundationers? Will they save the First Foundation? Are they antagonistic towards the First Foundation? Where are they based? Just what is the other end of the Galaxy?
Asimov is one step ahead of his reader; the shadow of suspicion clings to several characters in this story, and perhaps some of them are decidedly dodgy - but reader, prepare to be dumbfounded at the big reveal right at the end. That's it. I'll say no more. Gosh, what a story!

Review of 'Trilogía de las Fundaciones' on Goodreads
3 stars
An audiobook of BBC's radio adaptation. The adaptation shows it's age in the production style, still I quite loved the old fashioned intonation and over the top performance in some cases. Also a sign of age, hundreds and hundreds of years pass and only a handful of women make an appearance, even fewer a contribution to the story.
