Title: Not Even for the Most Devoted Fan
Review: It's hard to believe that the man who wrote this book (and its equally disappointing predecessor, _Foundation's Edge_) even READ the original Foundation Trilogy, let alone wrote it.This book is repetitive, tedious, and unimaginative. The conversations about collectivism vs. individuality, repeated _ad nauseum_, for all the constant hashing and rehashing of those themes, do not even skim the surface of the points of contention between them.It's bad enough that this book isn't the least bit about the Foundation(s); the real problem is that it isn't even good science fiction, and worse still, it isn't even good writing. If you enjoyed the original Foundation Trilogy, please don't bother with the last two books (chronologically) in the series. They'll only ruin the whole experience.One star. Maybe less.
