No. Book isn't good enough for that. Maybe with another draft and a good editor it would have a chance

How long until the third book is out? I'm going away on holiday for about two months and won't be able to pick up book two until I get back. At least I'll be able to rewatch series two and three in that time.

The Foundation series is the sort of Western space opera I think. I haven't read them, though. But its a story told on a macro scale I believe, similar to Heldensagen vom Kosmosinsell.

Hyperion? (Haven't read it, just heard it was good.)

Westerfeld's Risen Empire duology might be worth checking out.
