Foundation and Empire — Isaac Asimov

Foundation and Empire -- Isaac AsimovThis 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?

The second story is about a mutant, known as “The Mule”, who is slowly taking world after world to form a new empire of his own making.

Both great stories taking us on a full tilt ride around Isaac’s galaxy of the future.

Very enjoyable and not very put downable either.

Next up is Second Foundation.
