  <default_description>A millennium into the future, two advancements have altered the course of human history:  the colonization of the Galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain.  On the beautiful Outer World planet of Solaria, a handful of human colonists lead a hermit-like existence, their every need attended to by their faithful robot servants.  To this strange and provocative planet comes Detective Elijah Baley, sent from the streets of New York with his positronic partner, the robot R. Daneel Olivaw, to solve an incredible murder that has rocked Solaria to its foundations.  The victim had been so reclusive that he appeared to his associates only through holographic projection.  Yet someone had gotten close enough to bludgeon him to death while robots looked on.  Now Baley and Olivaw are faced with two clear impossibilities:  Either the Solarian was killed by one of his robots--unthinkable under the laws of Robotics--or he was killed by the woman who loved him so much that she never came into his presence!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I love the adventures of Elijah and Daneel. They make a great team, the human and the robot, solving crimes. I even ended up buying another edition of this book, after I gave the first one I had to a friend to read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read out of order (and need to go back and read Book 1) but you can read it without the back-story.  Pretty good, I read it in one day at the hospital waiting for my wife to deliver our first child!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Sequel to Asimov's Caves of Steel.  This is another murder mystery  staring the same detective team from Caves of Steel.  Asimov is brilliant and his novels are timeless.  Very well done story. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The robot series is awesome and got me excited about the Foundation series, which I haven't read yet. Except for Prelude. I think the sci-fi genre as a whole owes a lot to Asimov. I doubt there are many that would argue with that.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this one a little better than Asimov's first Robot Novel &quot;The Caves of Steel&quot;.  It set up nicely through the first half of the book with a strangely eerie &quot;whodunit&quot; type story on a foreign world, but still didn't hit on all the cylinders that Asimov's Robot short stories...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I've been wanting to read this for a while. The Robot novels are good, but not Asimov's best. Some of the technology doesn't hold up and it jars you out of the story. ]]></body>
