BEYOND AURORA AWAITS A BRAVE NEW WORLD...OF ROBOTS

A man without a memory flees a city of robots gone wild. At his side, a mysterious young woman whose own identity is eroded by an insidious disease. Journeying to Earth, the two must find a way to save her life and learn at last the secret to Robot City, Dr. Avery, and their true identities!

Asimov meets Hitchcock in this fast-paced thriller set in the timeline of his robot and Foundation universes. In Robot City, the late science fiction genius challenged a talented group of science fiction writers to resolve the conundrums he set for them in the context of his famous Three Laws of Robotics.

This pair of robot mysteries, enhanced with a pair of essays by Asimov himself, reflects the colorful world of thinking robots, subterranean Earth dwellers and witty repartee that characterized the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning landscape of the beloved author of The Caves of Steel and Robots and Empire.

A Continuing Saga
The saga of Robot is continued in this novel, which can only be described as exellent, with a dose of brilliant, and a side of superlative. The story of Robot City is expressed through the further development of the characters Derec, a man who crash landed in the aptly named Robot City, a city run and inhabited entirely by robots. Having lost his memory in the crash landing, he takes the name of Derec, which is the manufacturer of his jump suit. Throughout his journey, he meets the mysterios Katherine. After a bout of being captured by extraterrestrials, and such other madcap antics, Derec and Katherine are deposited in Robot City together. It is here that the plot begins to thicken, and the character development becomes signifigant. This volume of the series is a perfect book for any science fiction fan, and perfectly expresses the three laws of Robotics and their applications in the real world.
