I got this book because it seemed like a cool edition of The Foundation Trilogy. I later discovered that it glows in the dark when I turned the lights off to go to sleep.

I'm generally avoiding books written posthumously, there's too many examples of mediocre to poor books being made to cash in on an author's name.

Are they any good?

@BeigeAgenda I've only read Foundation and Chaos by Greg Bear. it's pretty good but it's about events that are happening in parallel with the beginning of Foundation so the overall saga is incredibly complicated and multi-layered. Foundation and Chaos also references the laws of robotics which are not mentioned in the original trilogy.
