Review: I have an outside postbox in (outside!) my flat so the book might have arrived a day before I noticed. Which is very good. Delivery was promised for Sat, March 5; it was here on 4th March. Excellent stuff. The Post Office must be on performance enhancing drugs!

Review: Arrived on time, and in good condition for it's age and price. Though the novel itself is not quite one of the master's best, it's still better than that of many other writers of that period. It's set at a time in the Foundation universe when Trantor's Galactic Empire is about to form. The hero is a scientist who studies " nothing", i.e the currents of highly attenuated matter that flow between the stars. What he discovers that gets him zapped by a psychic probe ( a great Dr. A. favourite along with neuronic whips, blasters, hyper-atomic motors, bi-wheels, etcetera), and installed as an amnesiac labourer on an agricultural world, and also " whodunnit? ", form the plot. The good doctor liked his mysteries as well as his historical and political based work, and this has a liberal dose of typical plot convolution that mixes all three and keeps you guessing to pretty near the end. All his original Astounding Science Fiction/ Analog SF stories under editor John W Campbell Jr. are still good reads. If you decide to plow your way through the early Asimov cannon, and the later prequels and sequels, you'll find that despite the inevitable discrepancies you'll find yourself wondering how he managed to write them all, get his Doctorate, and do war work with Robert A Heinlein.
