About the Book
"Bantam Spectra science fiction"--Spine.Book Synopsis
Following the iconic I, Robot, the next adventure in the Robot series finds detective Elijah Baley swept into one of the most emotionally charged and dangerous situations in Earth's history when he's tasked with solving the murder of an illustrious robot scientist. "With his fertile imagination, his wit, and his prolific output, Isaac Asimov truly laid the foundation for all future generations of science fiction writers."--Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling co-author of the Dune prequel series Like most people left behind on an over-populated Earth, New York City police detective Elijah Baley had little love for either the arrogant Spacers or their robotic companions. But when a prominent Spacer is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Baley is ordered to the Outer Worlds to help track down the killer. The relationship between Life Lige and his Spacer superiors, who distrusted all Earthmen, was strained from the start. Then he learned that they had assigned him a partner: R. Daneel Olivaw. Worst of all was that the "R" stood for robot--and his positronic partner was made in the image and likeness of the murder victim! Isaac Asimov's Robot series chronicles the sometimes uneasy partnership between human and humanoid:I, ROBOT - THE CAVES OF STEEL - THE NAKED SUN - THE ROBOTS OF DAWN
