A man without a memory is stranded in a city filled with robots gone wild. At his side is a mysterious young woman who claims to know who he is but refuses to tell him. According to The Three Laws of Robotics, A robot may not injure a human being, which narrows the suspects when the robots find a dead human body. The man calls himself Derec; the woman is know as Katherine. Their real identities, along with that of the murder victim and the murderer, are just a few of the life-and-death mysteries the unlikely pair are forced to solve to survive on the fantastic streets of Isaac Asimov's Robot City.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic piece of reading,
This review is from: Isaac Asimov's Robot City, Volumes 1 and 2 (Paperback)
Absolutely brilliant, in my humble opinion. I picked it up to read one night in bed, and apart from sleeping & eating, I didn't stop till the next evening. Through Asimov's helpful attitude & guidance, these authors have turned out an excellent read, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm potentially worried about diffferent authors doing a story along the same lines, while it allows for changes & invididualism, sometimes reading a series of books means you'll get the same 'writers attitude' whereas with this series you'll encounter a few different 'attitudes'... if this was anything to go by though, I have no concerns. :)

Asimov gave them permision,

This review is from: Isaac Asimov's Robot City, Volumes 1 and 2 (Paperback)
First of all you have to understand that Asimov had planned for this book to be written and set out guidelines for the authors to follow. Michael P. Kube-McDowell and Mike McQuay have done an excelent job of honoring the foundation/robot universe and their interpretations only improve the depth and color of the story. I think Asimov is smiling on this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Captivating, but incomplete (more to come?),
By Virgil Green (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Isaac Asimov's Robot City, Volumes 1 and 2 (Paperback)
I enjoyed this work more than many I've read lately. Good sci-fi without trying to push all the moral envelopes. This is the kind of fiction I've missed in my recent reading.Sadly, I find that there are too many questions left open at the end of the book. I want the answers. Will I find them in upcoming novels and will it be in a timely fashion? I hope so. I'd have given the book five stars if it had wrapped up more loose ends.
