  <default_description> 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 return to Hari Seldon's long-established plan to build a new Empire on the ruins of the old.  But rumors persist that the Second Foundation is not destroyed after all &amp; that its still-defiant survivors are preparing their revenge. Now two exiled citizens of the Foundation, a renegade Councilman and a 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 seems 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!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This volume in Asimov's Foundation series is perhaps a bit more readable, a bit more novelish than the original Trilogy. The story is certainly more compact as it's focused on one set of characters and one plot, as opposed to the 1,000-year future history presented in the trilogy. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As a fan of the series so far, I found the greatest strength of this book to be slightly more rich and realized universe. The characters were as strong as ever and I, for one, didn't see most of the plot twists coming.<br/><br/>I have to admit the narrative was a little sluggish in places.
