Dopo secoli di decadenza l'impero Galattico si è finalmente dissolto ma l'istituzione che ne sta prendendo il posto, la Fondazione, sta incontrando molti problemi. È sorta infatti una nuova spaventosa minaccia rappresentata dal misterioso 'Mule', un mutante dotato di misteriosi poteri in grado di dare vita a una spaventosa tirannia interplanetaria. Per riuscire ad avere ragione e a riportare la storia sul giusto binario sarà necessario l'aiuto della leggendaria seconda Fondazione, l'istituzione gemella fondata secoli prima e rimasta fino a quel momento nell'ombra. Con questo romanzo si conclude la straordinaria trilogia della Fondazione, uno dei più affascinanti affreschi di storia futura mai immaginati dalla fantascienza.

Good plot to end the trilogy

3 stars

A bit slow cooking the story with quick endings. It allows the reader to play guessing how it will end. It closes the universe with the stories started in the second book.

Finally read in French from the EPUB version as oue physical copy in Spanish doesn't hold anymore.

Review of 'Second Foundation' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Overall, this was a fun book. I don't think it's as good as the first of the Foundation novels, but it still is pretty decent in continuing the story in that universe. It gives up some of the large time spans and grandiose scale to focus instead on a bit of a mystery which gives it a fresh take compared to the others. The Second Foundation itself is quite intriguing and makes you wonder how far along their plans will actually take them.

Isaac Asimov always has some hocus-pocus under his sleeves.

In this book Asimov described the intention and nature of the Second Foundation. The Second Foundation's scientist are not gods. They are highly efficient mindmasters. They are guardians and they are hated. But they understand the cause of hatred and they are forgiving. And once again, they know, great power comes with great responsibility.
