gwenprime reviewed Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov
Not as good as the first
3 stars
It's a fun book but it's not as good as the first one. Worth a read if you really like the setting but that's kinda it.

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.
It's a fun book but it's not as good as the first one. Worth a read if you really like the setting but that's kinda it.
Would have normally rated it 4* but that ending... Wow!
