I have finished Isaac Asimov's Caliban by Roger MacBride allen. It reads nicely as an Asimovian type of mystery set in the Settler/Spacer Cosmos and plays with the Tree Laws concept of Asimov. Allen does write in a similar style to IA, even to the point of some of the odd futuristic names.
It was enjoyable for the most part but there were certain sections where the action of the plot stalled while Allen filled in pages of expository material. I feel that all that exposition could have been handled more elegantly.
There are two more novels in the series which might be worth taking a look at.
