I meant Edge,Earth.

I liked the characters, classic foundation characters but i didnt care for the story at all. The hole Gaia thing was alittle lame for me. I missed The Foundation feel. The first Foundation,Second Foundation people when the story was about them it was amazing. I felt it lost focus totaly in the end. Gaia ruined Foundation for me.

I havent even finished Foundation and Earth yet. Asimovs widow even said he didnt know how to finish the story well after Foundation and Earth since its a weak finale apparently cause it opens new questions. Which is exactly why he shouldnt have give in to pressure and should finished the story with Second Foundation.

Now its always remembered as a great trilogy with a somewhat weak ending thanks to the last two books. You see that everywhere, most fans rate The original trilogy high and the sequals not near as high. Check the threads in this forum for fav SF books, many write "Foundation Original Trilogy"

Havent read Prelude,Forward yet.

Action oriented in A Foundation story? thats very interesting.

Im looking forward to reading Prelude cause its about the legendary Hari Seldon.
