Foundation - Isaac Asimov

Review: For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Sheldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future--to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire--both scientists and scholars--and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a fututre generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.

But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and be overrun--or fight them and be destroyed.---from amazon.

Opinion: A purely sci-fi novel. Some of the plot resolutions are complex and witty. The only thing I can criticize is that the whole series are a mess. I can´t figure out the beginning or the end. The plot seem like it wasn´t planned at all and the author only wrote the books when he felt like it and was pushed by some editorial. He could do so much more with this universe. But otherwise is very good light reading and it doesn´t have many action, just many fantastical situations if you like books like that. (okay I´m gonna mock this books in a bad way... it´s just so funny to read the descriptions of the technology in the books, it´s just like watching some of those oldies space movies...you know... haha)

Final Rating: 6/10
