I like "hard" science fiction, ie no magic or dragons etc just science of the future. Few books seem to be authored these days for this type of fiction and hence I often look for books written by the "old masters" that I have not yet read. Typically these include Clarke, Niven, Pournelle, Forward etc. Hence I was attracted to this series of books. However whilst Clarke's style is first class the books are now very dated. Nothing is more annoying than reading a science fiction book where the science is advanced past the book's level and the book has made wrong assumptions. Not something that happens regularly for Clarke but in this series of books I am afraid that is the case.
I am an Asimov fan .Good to see some of the ideas that led to some great stories
