About this audiobook
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 Earthâs history when heâs tasked with solving the murder of an illustrious robot scientist.
âWith his fertile imagination, his wit, and his prolific output, Isaac Asimov truly laid the foundation for all future generations of science fiction writers.ââKevin 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 âRâ stood for robotâand his positronic partner was made in the image and likeness of the murder victim!
Isaac Asimovâs Robot series chronicles the sometimes uneasy partnership between human and humanoid:
I, ROBOT ⢠THE CAVES OF STEEL ⢠THE NAKED SUN ⢠THE ROBOTS OF DAWN

Lifelong fan of the story. The narration is good and gets the feel of the time period in which Asimov wrote it really well. Easy to discern characters and great rendition of Jehosaphat đ

William Dufris narration of this book is amazing! Nothing short of "acting" can describe the performance he delivered with this Audiobook.

About the author
Isaac Asimov began his Foundation series at the age of twenty-one, not realizing that it would one day be considered a cornerstone of science fiction. During his legendary career, Asimov penned more than 470 books on subjects ranging from science to Shakespeare to history, though he was most loved for his award-winning science fiction sagas, which include the Robot, Empire, and Foundation series. Named a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Asimov entertained and educated readers of all ages for close to five decades. He died, at the age of seventy-two, in April 1992.
