The first book in a trilogy that was authorised by the Asimov estate to be written as a sequel to Foundation. I had expected it to be a continuation from where Foundation and Earth left off, but it isn’t.
This book picks up the story way back when Hari Seldon was being considered for the role of First Minister and the trilogy takes it from there. It’s like an alternative view on things giving us more story about the story we already got told.
All in all it’s a pretty good book, although i think a continuation from Foundation and Earth would have been much better. But if you’re a fan of the franchise then i’m sure you’ll still enjoy it.
After the events of 
Off we go again searching for other foundations.
Again, we have another 2 part book.
This book is divided into two separate stories, the first is when the Foundation butts up against the old Empire, still dreaming of its return to its glory days. The Empire sends one of its generals, Bel Riose, to conquer the Foundation worlds and the Foundation itself: has Seldon’s Plan foreseen this and who will eventually win?
Finally, after months of reading through “Robots” and “Empire” we get onto the original Foundation books.
