This book on the other hand is quite good. Its not the best book I've read recently, but its faithful to the universe that Asimov built, as well as resolving all the silly plot elements that made <a href="http://www.stillhq.com/book/Gregory_Benford/Foundations_Fear.html">Foundation's Fear</a> such a bad book. It also fills in some of the gaps between the end of Asimov's robot stories and the Foundation stories, which is good. <br/><br/><i>Tags for this post: book(<a href="http://www.stillhq.com/book"><img src="http://www.stillhq.com/tagicon.cgi?post=/book/Greg_Bear/Foundation_and_Chaos&tag=book&format=.png" border="0" alt="S"></a>) Greg_Bear(<a href="http://www.stillhq.com/Greg_Bear"><img src="http://www.stillhq.com/tagicon.cgi?post=/book/Greg_Bear/Foundation_and_Chaos&tag=Greg_Bear&format=.png" border="0" alt="S"></a>) </i></td></tr></table> <a href="http://www.stillhq.com/book/Greg_Bear/Foundation_and_Chaos.commentform.html">Comment</a> http://www.stillhq.com/book/Greg_Bear/Foundation_and_Chaos.html http://www.stillhq.com/book/Greg_Bear/Foundation_and_Chaos.html
