Plainclothesman Elijah Baley is called to Washington, where he’s told he’s being reassigned, reassigned to a murder investigation on a Spacer world known as Solaria.
The Spacers have asked for Elijah because Solaria, having no crime ever and therefore no police force, have no idea how to go about investigating a murder.
As he arrives on Solaria he is informed that his partner will be waiting for him, which turns out to be R. Daneel Olivaw. And so our dynamic duo are thrown once again into searching for clues to solve the mystery.
Once again, there’s two really good aspects to this story, one being the murder investigation and the other being our exploration of Solarian society.
I have to admit, that being a devoted introvert i much prefer this society to the one in The Caves of Steel. I think i could quite enjoy living on my own massive chunk of planet with countless robots to fulfil my every need.
Another page turner that just seemed to fly by.
Next up is Mirror Image.
