I read the prequel Fireplay and enjoyed it. It was an ebook novella. I listened to the audio version of The Foundation and I had a little trouble getting into it. I wasn’t overjoyed with the narrator to start with. I guess it took me about a quarter of the way through the book before it really found a rhythm. After that I liked it. I gave it 4 stars because the second half of the book just flew by. A war, political unrest, terrorist attacks, and a newspaper reporter trying to put it all together. What more could you ask for.
