Perfect for you if...

You loved Asimov's original Foundation trilogy and want to see where the saga actually goes after decades of being left incomplete.
You enjoy hard science fiction that explores the tension between logic and rebellion, whether in humans or artificial minds.
You're drawn to epic space opera with philosophical stakes, where the fate of galactic civilisation hinges on whether robots and humans can coexist.

Maybe not for you if...

You haven't read the original Foundation trilogy and don't want to start with a continuation that assumes deep familiarity with Seldon, psychohistory, and decades of prior plot.
You prefer character-driven intimate stories over sprawling multi-perspective narratives spanning planets and factions.
You find the concept of positronic robots and AI ethics more interesting as thought experiments than as the driving plot engine of a novel.

About this book

With the permission of the Asimov estate, Greg Bear continues Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy. Hari Seldon faces trial for treason as the Galactic Empire prepares its long-anticipated migration to Star's End. The mission's robot leader, R. Daneel Olivaw, discovers a dangerous threat within his own kind. A malfunction erases the core directives in humaniform robot Lodovik Trema's positronic brain, freeing his service to humankind from destiny to will alone. Daneel has Lodovik secretly reprogrammed to ensure loyalty, but questions arise about whether he can be trusted. Other robots begin questioning their mission and Daneel's strategy, while their human counterparts experience stirrings of rebellion. Among them is a young woman with psychic abilities—a reluctant leader with the power to unite humans and robots in a quest for common freedom or mutual destruction.
