That would explain it.![]()
Personally, I've never really been intrigued by Asimov's Sci-Fi novels(Fantastic Voyage and Foundation* come to mind). He seems to me to be akin to Micheal Crichton, only with a more epic scope (and imho) a slight inability to write character. However, I am a big fan of his layman's science stuff, and enjoy his forays into mystery.
Of course, I have never really met an Asimov fan, and thus am blind to any discussion and praise.![]()
*In particular, input on the foundation trilogy would be much appreciated, as I really do feel like I’m missing something.
