Title: This book should not carry the Foundation name.
Product review: The book, although having Foundation in its title, was written long after the original series, and does not have the feel of being part of the Foundation series. It feels more like a desperate attempt at linking Foundation with the rest of the Asimov universe.I think the worst part is that I liked the Foundation concept as presented by Hari Seldon in the first three books. The Foundation was not perfect, but that imperfection was part of the Seldon Plan and would eventually lead to a great new galaxy, under the Foundation government. This book gave me the feeling that Seldon's Foundation lost. Not a good way to write a book. I finished the book angry at Asimov for destroying the "Foundation" concept. And I will not read Foundation and Earth because of it. My advise is stop with the original trilogy.
