Re: Looking for Sci Fi book recommendations.

>If you're looking for "Hard SF," I'd recommend Stephen Baxter -- his
Xeelee series is great.

I assume you have read Isaac Asimov's Robots, Empire and Foundation

You might also like the caliban trilogy by roger mcbride allen which is
set in asimov's robots series world.
