GETTING BACK ON TOPIC:

The books after Asimov's series written by other people were the ones, in my opinion, that shouldn't have been written, even though they were approved by Asimov and (later) by his widow.

To my way of thinking, the continuing of the series diluted the power of the original three (even Asimov's fourth one, published much later in his career.)

I remember the power of those first three novels, and reading them with that sense of wonder that I also felt when I read "Slan," by Van Vogt.
