While the first crisis seemed massive in its own right, it pales in comparison with the new one.įor starters, while the immense galactic Empire is dying and fading away piece by piece, it still remains the most powerful force in the universe. ![]() In any case, the second novel begins not long after the first one ended, with the Foundation having survived the initial trials brought upon them by their neighbouring planets, living in a constant state of greed-driven war. I simply think anyone interested in this volume’s story would logically be quite curious about where it started. Even though some of the concepts and technologies presented in the Foundation trilogy by Isaac Asimov may feel a little quaint by today’s standards, the pioneering work of science-fiction has retained its enviable status for the depths of the world, story and characters it presented.īefore proceeding to talk about the second novel of the series, titled Foundation and Empire, I would simply like to point out I recommend reading the previous book first, though it’s not entirely necessary (if you’re interested you can have a look at our Foundation review). ![]()
