I loved the humor and the intricacy of the world. The oriental feudal flavor reminded me of the Book of Five Rings. My main complaint was that the book ends before the conflicts are resolved. But at 131 K words, the whole epic wouldn't fit well in on...more

Scott Rhine liked David King's review of Foundation for the Lost: " "Foundation for the Lost" is the second Scott Rhine book I have read and whilst I enjoyed the other novel entitled "The Scarab" I think this one trumps it in every possible way.
