Interesting deeper dive into the concepts of the earlier books. Clearly written decades later, but still quite good. ( )
  LibraryJamesMac | Jan 18, 2024 |
What a fascinating book! I see why it won both the Hugo and Locus awards back in 1983. It continued the epic Foundation story cycle, introducing new plans to be followed up with a later book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

Why? Because this one moves the plot into a person-centric story. There is still a conflict between First Foundation and Second Foundation. Now, I have come to care about Janov Pelorat, who is a professor of Ancient History and mythologist. His joy in the quest to find Earth is refreshing. His travels with Golan Trevize made me smile. (Yes, I know Trevise is the more important character of the two, but I liked Pelorat more.)

Highly recommended for those who have already read the original three Foundation books. ( )

2023 reread:
There are a few aspects of this 4th book in the Foundation series that I particularly like and thus pull it up to a 5* book:
•we finally find out about the Mule's origins
•the hunt for the original world of mankind is introduced - such fun hearing Janov and Golan talk about the improbable nature of some of the myths :)
•Gaia, the planet which is a super-organism. I don't know if Asimov was the first author to postulate such a thing, others have certainly used this idea since. It's a concept that I find both entrancing and horrifying but never dull!

The 14th in what can be seen as the "extended" 15 book Foundation Series. This 1st of 2 sequels to the Foundation Trilogy. The tensions between the 1st and 2nd Foundations continue. ( )

Now, 33 years later, Mr. Asimov has written a new Foundation book. And I am relieved to report that it is a worthy sequel in every way. As before, the First Foundation wields the power of the physical sciences and technology, and the Second Foundation has the power to cloud men's minds and predict mass behavior through the statistical insights of psychohistory. Also as before, the fate of all humanity is at stake as these mighty adversaries clash - and the focus is on the actions of a handful of people who are earnest and articulate and likable even when they do bad things (for what seem to them good reasons). Mr. Asimov gives us adversaries but no villains; this is future history portrayed as a great game. The danger of such a concept is that the reader will cease to care who wins or loses. Mr. Asimov sustains interest by keeping us guessing just which side each player represents. He writes much better than he did 33 years ago - yet he has lost none of the verve that he brought to this series when he and the galaxy were much younger. What more could one ask?

Rare is the author who can resume a story after a pause of three decades, but Asimov has never been predictable in anything but fecundity. This is his 260th book and one of his best. Given the master's past history, it may be a prelude to a pentalogy.
toegevoegd door Shortride | bewerkTime, Peter Stoler (Nov 15, 1982)
 
After a slowish start, then, the rather talky narrative here develops into grippingly effective drama - with oodles of twisty-turny plot, an engaging cast, and some enjoyably mellow humor (Asimov whimsically manages to work in references to all his previous novels). A grandmasterly performance.

The First Galactic Empire was falling. (Prologue)
"I don't believe it, of course," said Golan Trevize, standing on the wide steps of Seldon Hall and looking out over the city as it sparkled in the sunlight.
This Book, while self-contained, is a continuation of The Foundation Trilogy which is made up of three books: Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation. (Afterword by the Author)
