Easily the weakest of all 3 akkano stories so far. This time the actions from the sub at least are logical.
But if you were a part from a crime fighting duo and found out that a friend of yours totally destroyed someone's life, brainwashed and enslaved them, would you really react with a weak joke? Not even a frown?
Why would Bayton help enslaving a person? She's rich enough so she doesn't need the money. She was chosen because she has high enough morals not to want to rule the world. It doesn't make sense.
But apart from the plot holes the story really has one huge weakness. It's booooooring. Most of the sex is boring. The plot is boring. The whole setup with Holmes/Watson is boring.
Also although it's been some time since I read Asimov I'm pretty sure Psychohistorics wasn't a means for direct mindcontrol.
Well at least grammar and spelling are OK. (4/10)
