A millennium into the future two advancements 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. 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 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!

Whether or not you're a fan of Science Fiction or Isaac Asimov, this book is a must read. It is one of the greatest mysteries I have ever read. By the end of the book, every character has been accused of committing the crime even though they could not have. It will throw you through loop after loop, wondering where the ground is, and then it will assure you it was right under your feet the whole time. A MASTERPIECE.

I love both robots and Foundation novells. This is the first book of the robot novells followed by the Naked Sun, The Robots of Dawn and Robots and Empire, which in turn is connected to the Foundation novells.

Von David N. Reiss
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the best of Isaac Asimov's series of robot novels.
The reason that Asimov claimed that he tried to write science fiction mysteries, in the beginning, was that John W. Campbell Jr, the then editor of Astounding Science Fiction, had claimed once that SF and Mysteries couldn't really be mixed as genre. His reasoning being that the author could be very unfair to the reader and pull a delux ax machina out of the hat. Asimov basically thought an author could do that in just about any mystrry and wrote an SF Mystery to prove it could be done.
Elijah Baley is Sherlock Holmes and R. Daneel Olivaw is Dr. Watson. That is not just an accident really, Asimov was a great fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories.
It is also a great look at what a future earth could be like with regards to Population Growth. An issue that Asimov harped on in several of his science essay's that appeared in "The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy" over the years.
Along with _Foundation_, this novel forms the bedrock of Asimov's Foundation-Galactic Empire-Robot series of novels and some short stories. A very good book.
