Quite possibly. Ironically, the sequels are some of his worst.

Ain't that the truth.  I pretend in my mind that Gentry Lee wrote
those entirely by himself and that Clarke just, in a display
of incipent senility, allowed his name to be used to give the
books more sales oomph.


Caves of Steel, I think. I'm not too big a fan of the Foundation series.

I have "The Gods Themselves" sitting in front of me waiting
for a reread.  I remember thinking highly of that one.
