Publisher Description
A millennium into the future two advances have altered the course of human history: the colonization of the Galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain. Isaac Asimov's Robot novels chronicle the unlikely partnership between a New York City detective and a humanoid robot who must learn to work together.
Detective Elijah Baiey is called to the Spacer world Aurora to solve a bizarre case of roboticide. The prime suspect is a gifted roboticist who had the means, the motive, and the opportunity to commit the crime. There's only one catch: Baley and his positronic partner, R. Daneel Olivaw, must prove the man innocent. For in a case of political intrigue and love between woman and robot gone tragically wrong, there's more at stake than simple justice. This time Baley's career, his life, and Earth's right to pioneer the Galaxy lie in the delicate balance.
Customer Reviews
This book
I like this book of the late great Isaac Asimov. This is the second time reading it and was just as good as the last time I read it.
The Robots of Dawn
Who would have the audacity to, “review”, Asimov? Like an art critic reviewing DaVinci.
Such genius may come along once in a generation, if we’re really lucky!
An Epic
In this novel Asimov blends science fiction and mystery to create a futuristic masterpiece that has implications that we will almost surely face.
