In this book, Bear continues where Benford's <I>Foundation's Fear</I> left off, as the trial of legendary psychohistorian Hari Seldon is about to begin. Bear writes with a style uncannily similar to Foundation creator Isaac Asimov's, and he even manages to incorporate some of Asimov's own writing in the novel. Aside from the trial, Bear also focuses on the nearly immortal robots that serve the Foundation, including R. Daneel Olivaw, who is set to guide one of the Foundation's first great undertakings. But Olivaw runs into trouble from an unexpected quarter, his best operative, Lodovik Trema, whose positronic brain has been irrevocably altered in a strange accident that has given him freedom from the supposedly immutable laws of robotics. <I>--Craig Engler</I> 4284 book 1998 Foundation and Chaos (Second Foundation Trilogy, #2) total:377|5:86|4:103|3:147|2:34|1:7| 377 1358 546 7 3 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 09 11:01:40 -0700 2008 Fri May 09 11:01:57 -0700 2008

I enjoyed the book, but it never really grabbed me as Asimov's books did. ]]> 3 0 false false Mon Nov 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 08 18:09:39 -0700 2008 Mon Nov 10 19:09:44 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Oct 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 17 20:38:46 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 23 08:59:16 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Apr 02 06:43:19 -0700 2007 Tue May 08 09:14:57 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Mon Apr 14 12:47:38 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 12:47:38 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Nov 20 17:31:15 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 17:31:15 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 20 11:44:14 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 11:44:14 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 03:24:31 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 03:24:31 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Nov 15 17:23:54 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 17:23:54 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Fri Nov 13 12:29:49 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 12:29:49 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 10 22:12:22 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 22:12:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 19:33:10 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 19:33:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 07 10:12:57 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 10:12:57 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 05 17:53:12 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 17:53:15 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 05 17:12:51 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 17:12:51 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Nov 03 18:05:25 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 18:05:25 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 29 10:20:26 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 10:20:26 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Oct 23 07:36:23 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 07:36:23 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=46656
