The Robots of Dawn
A MOST DANGEROUS BALEYWICK
A puzzling case of roboticide takes New York Detective Elijah Baley
from Earth to the planet Aurora, where humans and robots have, till
now, always coexisted in perfect harmony.
Only the gifted roboticist Han Fastolfe had the means, the motive, and
the opportunity to commit the crime – but Baley must prove the man
innocent. For the murder of Jander Panell is closely tied to a power
struggle that will decide who will be the next interstellar pioneers in
the universe.
Armed only with his own instincts, his sometimes quirky logic, and the
immutable Three Laws of Robotics, Baley sets out to solve the case. But
can anything prepare a simple Earthman for the psychological
complexities of a world where a beautiful woman can easily have fallen
in love with an all-too-human robot?
