fans of the series
For fans of the Foundation series, this fills in some gaps in the story around the time of Hari Seldon's trial. The story is somewhat bleak, with Dors and Daneel in agony for much of the story, and Hari miserable.
I enjoyed the book, but it never really grabbed me as Asimov's books did.

This was a decent book - not as good as the original (but what is), and certainly not as bad as the first in this series. All in all, enjoyable, but not a must-read.

The author also wrote Blood Music, which I enjoyed. I love Asimov so I thought I'd give this a try.

Not as good as genuine Asimov, but entertaining sci-fi nonetheless.
