![]() ![]() It is a brilliant homage to Foundation, as well as a critique of it, but was not authorized and is consequently set in a not-quite-the-same-universe. I'd also like to second the praise for Donald Kingsbury's Pyschohistorical Crisis. It is set after Foundation and Earth and does a good job of resolving the three-way battle that had been shaping up between the Robots, the Foundation(s), and Gaia/Galaxia. ![]() The third volume, Foundation's Triumph, by David Brin is IMO quite good and brings this trilogy almost back to canon. Again, Bear is a fine writer and worth reading. ![]() The second book, Foundation and Chaos, is by Greg Bear and is a sequel to the Benford book, but feels to me to be a bit more in the Asimov spirit. (Because Benford is a fine writer, it's worth reading, but think of it as Foundation fan fiction, not canon.) It's also worth noting that there was a trilogy of volumes written as authorized sequels to Foundation by Greg Bear, Gregory Benford and David Brin.īenford's contribution, Foundation's Fear takes place prior to the Foundation Trilogy and is, to my taste, 'way too far out of the canon set by the Asimov stories to be taken seriously. ![]()
