Notes:
The second Foundation Trilogy Authorized by the estate of Isaac Asimov. This book is about Harri Seldon, the mysterious founder of the foundation, who only wanted to be left alone, to be a mathist. Now, about to ascend to the (despised to him) title of First Minister hari has to learn to dodge assassins and court politics.
First, Benford is a great writer and he has attempted to step into the masters shoes on this book. While he did a good job I still felt that something was lacking although in retrospect, it may just have been the "Asimov touch."
