Editing Nemesis (Asimov novel) (section)

== Reception ==
On [[Kirkus Reviews]], the novel is said to be "a medium-future space drama, often quite absorbing despite the absence of a theme or even much of a plot" and a "low-key, oddly likable performance considering that, despite all the complicated maneuvering, nothing much happens: the old Asimov charm keeps the pages turning".<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-01-28|date=2011-09-16|language=en|publisher=Kirkus Reviews|title=Nemesis|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/isaac-asimov/nemesis-asimov/}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>

According to [[SF Site]], Isaac Asimov seems to "feel[s] obliged to apologize for the fact that it is completely unrelated to any of his own novels". ''Nemesis'' turns out to be "in fact nothing more than an average Isaac Asimov novel" with good and bad points summarized as follows: "On the positive side, that means that it has intelligent and thoughtful ideas, a carefully crafted plot, and a well-maintained sense of suspense. On the negative side, that means that it offers generally perfunctory characterization, an undistinguished prose style, and an excessive emphasis on endless conversation—as in a soap opera, Asimov's characters spend far more time talking about what they are doing than actually doing anything."<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-01-28|date=1989|language=en|publisher=SF Site|title=Nemesis by Isaac Asimov|url=https://www.sfsite.com/gary/ww-review02.htm}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
