What you call the first book is maybe the integral trilogy?
To me the first book ends with hober mallow, and the trilogy ends with arkady.
The prequels follows hari seldon and is kinda neat, it's kinda more adventurous and less political but very pleasant to follow.
Dors venabili best girl, can't change my mind.
I sometimes forget how many different ways Foundation has been published. By the first book, I mean the first compilation from like 1951 just called Foundation. It's got five stories, most but not all of which had been published before. It starts with Seldon getting exiled in "The Psychohistorians" and ends with the fall of Korell in "The Merchant Princes".
I guess you don't like what they end up calling "mentalic" then?
By sequels, I was talking two propers novels about the chase for earth, not "foundation and empire" or "second foundation" (which I both really like)
