Foundation and Chaos – Greg Bear

The second part of “The Second Foundation Trilogy” was written by Greg Bear.
This part continues the story of Hari Seldon’s life where Foundation’s Fear left it; just before the trial that will send the Encyclopedia project to the far reaches of the universe.

Foundation’s Fear – Continued

It’s been three days since I finished the book. And I can’t seem to make my mind up about it….

Foundation’s Fear – Gregory Benford (not rated… yet…)

Although I’ve only read some 70 pages of this book yet, I felt compelled to jot down a couple of lines already.

After finishing just about all the books Isaac Asimov himself had written in the Foundation saga (started out as a trilogy, now counts a whole lot more then three books) and his Empire and Robot sagas, I went looking for more books in the same genre (“Hard Science Fiction” people call it) where the story isn’t the only important part of the book. Isaac manages to give the reader the idea that the story is second to the underlying principles. I’m sure I’ll write more about that in a post on Mister Asimov himself some day.
