À propos de cet audio
Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels are one of the great masterworks of science fiction. As unsurpassed blend of nonstop action, daring ideas, and extensive world-building, they chronicle the struggle of a courageous group of men and women dedicated to preserving humanity's light in a galaxy plunged into a nightmare of ignorance and violence thirty thousand years long.
After years of struggle, the Foundation lies in ruins, destroyed by the mutant mind power of the Mule. But it is rumored that there is a Second Foundation hidden somewhere at the end of the Galaxy, established to preserve the knowledge of mankind through the long centuries of barbarism. The Mule failed to find it the first timebut now he is certain he knows where it lies.
The fate of the Foundation rests on young Arcadia Darell, only 14 years old and burdened with a terrible secret. As its scientists gird for a final showdown with the Mule, the survivors of the First Foundation begin their desperate search. They too want the Second Foundation destroyed, before it destroys them.

Histoire
His name was Biron Farrill and he was a student at the University of Earth. A native of one of the helpless Nebular Kingdoms, he saw his home world conquered and controlled by the planet Tyrann - a ruthless, barbaric Empire that was building a dynasty of cruelty and domination among the stars. Farrill’s own father had been executed for trying to resist the Tyrann dictatorship and now someone was trying to kill Biron. But why? His only hope for survival lay in fleeing Earth and joining the rebellion that was rumored to be forming somewhere in the Kingdoms.

Histoire
The Eternals, the ruling class of the Future, had the power of life and death not only over every human being but over the very centuries into which they were born. Past, Present, and Future could be created or destroyed at will. You had to be special to become an Eternal. Andrew Harlan was special. Until he committed the one unforgivable sin - falling in love. Eternals weren’t supposed to have feelings. But Andrew could not deny the sensations that were struggling within him. He knew he could not keep this secret forever. And so he began to plan his escape.

In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

The grandeur of the story…in time and in scope.
A comment…the concept of cigar smoking was all present…so different from today. Asimov was visionary in the breadth of his story.

Best Book In The Series
This entry in the 'Foundation' series exemplifies what Science Fiction is capable of offering: immersive, imaginative, plausible realities that provide a matrix on which to build a captivating plot... be it Action/Adventure, Horror, Drama, or something else. In 'Second Foundation', Isaac Asimov splices an entry in the 'Mystery' genre onto his concept.. surrounding a simple question - "Where is the Second Foundation?"
Asimov includes false leads, multiple suspects, investigative maneuvers, red herrings, twists & turns, and dramatic/climactic stand-offs worthy of an Agatha Christie novel.
A couple of characters are straight-up annoying (and the dialogue is often imperfect), but the book is otherwise well-conceived, well-paced, and well-executed.
My only comment on the presentation: listen to Scott Brick at 1.15X. His capable narration - marred by a naturally arrogant/"smarmy" attitude in his tone/timbre - sounds much more natural at that playback speed.
This 9/10-star audiobook may not be the best version available for the "Fifth" book in the series.. but it absolutely fits in your library. Can recommend.

Science Fiction with Mystery and Intrigue
Not a bad addition for the series. Not exactly a mystery fan, but it was enjoyable. Wouldn't recommend as an entry on it's own - more if you are following the series and want to have a more complete picture.

A satisfying conclusion
There is no need to review the book itself. By virtue of age there are several references that seem dated to my ears in 2021, yet the story still holds up.
I’ve read the books myself several times, this was the first time listening on audio.
Perfect nostalgia, and an excellent read. There is no need to review the book really, but the Voice of Scott Brick is a perfect addition to my experience of the story.
