Samenvatting

At last, the costly and bitter war between the two Foundations had come to an end. The scientists of the First Foundation had proved victorious; and now they retum to Hari Seldon's long-established plan to build a new Empire that the Second Foundation is not destroyed after all-and that its still-defiant survivors are preparing their revenge. Now the two exiled citizens of the Foundation-a renegade Councilman and the doddering historian-set out in search of the mythical planet Earth. . .and proof that the Second Foundation still exists. Meanwhile someone-or something-outside of both Foundations sees to be orchestrating events to suit its own ominous purpose. Soon representatives of both the First and Second Foundations will find themselves racing toward a mysterious world called Gaia and a final shocking destiny at the very end of the universe!

  • Second prequel of the original Foundation trilogy

    ‘Forward the Foundation’ is the last Foundation novel written by Asimov during his lifetime and covers the period between ‘Prelude to Foundation’ and ‘Foundation’. Both may therefore be considered required reading for this novel. ‘Forward the Foundation’ starts eight years after ‘Prelude to Foundation’ and consists of five parts, each separated by a decade. They exhibit the science of psychohistory at different stages of development culminating eventually in the realization of the two Foundations. One consequence of this setup is that there is not really one continuous plotline. Rather, it strongly gives the impression of being a patchwork of snapshots in time with limited essential relevance for the overarching storyline of the Foundation, Empire and Robot series and with as only intention to fill in the gaps between The Foundation trilogy and its first prequel. Unfortunately this recipe makes for the most unengaging and at times even plainly dull book set in the Foundation Universe that is simply not up to par with the high quality of the other Foundation novels. Clearly, ‘Forward the Foundation’ is suitable only for the most devoted fans of the Foundation/Empire/Robot series. Of course, despite all of this it is nonetheless mandatory reading for those dedicated fans who may anyway find a source of interest in the background information that it provides to the series.

    People that have read all of Asimov’s Foundation and Robot novels and still cannot get quite enough of it are referred to ‘End of Eternity’ (also written by Asimov) which has a connection to the Foundation Universe, albeit an elusive one. Those that are looking for more epic science fiction in the same vein as the Foundation novels may also like ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ by Arthur C Clarke or ‘Hyperion’ by Dan Simmons.
