The first half of the book describes the Galactic Empire, well into its collapse-as predicted by Hari Seldon, launching a failed attack on the first Foundation. The second half of the book is about a mutant with extreme mental abilities taking over the Foundation—which takes place about 100 years after the first half of the book and the Empire gone, and seeks to destroy the Second Foundation.
Although during initial reception of this book was described as “swashbuckling galactic adventure”, I found it to be quite boring. It was hard to care about the characters introduced in this novel. I struggled to pay attention and found myself rereading portions twice just to make sure I didn’t miss any details or important subplot. Snooze.
