Goodreads asked Stephen B. Anthony:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Stephen B. Anthony I am a huge Isaac Asimov fan. His Robot and Foundation series influenced me greatly when I was a young man.

Foundation was based on the fall of the Roman Empire, but I wondered about the rise. Before there were ten thousand worlds, there must have been just a small handful. What would that have been like?

While my stories aren't set in Asimov's universe; they certainly try to answer the question of what some great galactic civilization might have been in the few hundred years of its extrasolar existence.
