The author is self published and his books are available to download for free.
He has completed the first two books - Foundation and Second Empire in 2013 and The Robots of the Interregnum in 2018. Untitled book 3 is still a WIP and a couple of years off. (I have corresponded with the author)

Thanks, Karellen. I glimpsed the start and they well written. There is a book, originally short story that develops the Foundation universe.

There was also a trilogy developing the Foundation written. The final one was by David Brin.
And then there was the Caliban trilogy that continued the robot universe.
Asimov wrote a lot and a lot of it is not that great. I question if reading his entire opus start to finish is advisable. There is plenty of stuff by him that I have not and will never read. But when he is good, he deserves his reputation, IMO.
I presume you are also a fan of Clarke.
