Led by its founding father, the great psychohistorian Hari Seldon, and taking advantage of its superior science and technology, the Foundation has survived the greed and barbarism of its neighboring warrior-planets. Yet now it must face the Empire still the mightiest force in the Galaxy even in its death throes. When an ambitious general determined to restore the Empire's glory turns the vast Imperial fleet toward the Foundation, the only hope for the small planet of scholars and scientists lies in the prophecies of Hari Seldon.

This got better. It's almost as if you can see Asimov learning how to be a better writer as the book progressed. The second half is a marked improvement over the first (and both are better than Foundation itself). There are even female characters, and one of them is smarter than all the men!

A great continuation of the original Foundation book.
Really liked the characters of the last part of the book.

This is the second book in the Foundation series and like the first book, the beginning is dry. After The Mule story line starts the book becomes very enjoyable. I'm all already to start the next book, [b:Second Foundation|29580|Second Foundation (Foundation, #3)|Isaac Asimov|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168033540s/29580.jpg|64823]. Although this book was published in 1952 original, the Foundation series continues to be one of the greatest science fiction series of all time.
