When the Galactic Empire died, the great psychohistorian Hari Seldon set up the Foundation to preserve knowledge and lead men to a new empire after a thousand years. Now Seldon's plan seemed ended -- ruined by the mutant mind power of hte Mule.

They saw only one place where it could be. And young Arkady Darrell, fourteen years old and desperate with fear, knew she had discovered the terrible secret.

This was by far my favorite book in the original trilogy. This book was much easier to follow in comparison to the first two books, because instead of covering over a hundred years, the events all take place relatively close to each other and the narration focuses on the same characters. There were ...
Great ending to the original trilogy.
I'm starting to realize that the lasting appeal of this series is less with the stories themselves and more with the ideas they represent. Psychohistory and all of its ramifications is fascinating, but the characters and conflicts that are going on in the stories themselves are less so. Part of it, ...
