Foundation series
Reichert was asked to write three prequels of "I, Robot" by "Isaac Asimov"'s estate. She first met Asimov when she was 23, although she did not know him well. She is the first female author to be authorised to write stories based on Asimov's novels; follow-ups to his Foundation series were written by Gregory Benford, Greg Bear and David Brin. The prequels were ordered by Berkley Books.
