In this thrilling entry in the renowned Robot series, interplanetary detective Elijah Baley embarks on a mind-stretching journey after the universe’s most advanced robot is found murdered.

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.

Great Narrator. The story kept my attention and went in a few directions I didn't expect (all positive).

Enjoyable and Surprising

I have loved the works of Asimov for a long time. His Robot series is some of his best work. I wish you would produce his conclusion, Robots and Empire. This draws his stories together.

The Robot Experience

In all my reading of Asimov. The Robot Trilogy is the only and most drawn out romance I have ever come across. Otherwise I do enjoy the story line.

I have always loved Asimov.

I read this book decades ago, when it first came out, after having read all of Asimov’s previous books, including his excellent non-fiction science. Asimov had a profound impact on my life, so my opinion may be biased in finding most modern audio and video productions of his stories atrocious; the only exceptions are audios done by William Dufris, who is an amazing talent. His narration is nearly perfect; my only critique is that I had imagined Giskard’s voice to be less mechanical and Daneel’s voice less stilted.

Wonderful Production of Asimov’s Final Book in his Robot Series

Amazing how a SuFi book written so long ago is so up to date. The narrator is so excellent that all the characters come to life.

Excellent book.
