4.5 stars. I just re-read this story after first reading it years ago. This is the second book of the Robot series taking place shortly after the excellent The Caves of Steel. Like The Caves of Steel, this story is structured as a murder mystery though this one is set on the Spacer world of Solaria. Again, Elijah Bailey is reunited with his robot partner Daneel Olivaw to investigate the murder, thus time of a Solarian scientist.

The second of the 'robot novels'. Lije and R Daneel go to Solaria, a planet with few people and many robots, to solve a murder mystery. The myustery is alright, but the best part of the book is learning about Solaria and it's difference from the Earth described in Caves of Steel

The 2nd book in Asimov's robot series, and another murder mystery. A good story and a quick read. I'm still amazed at how he was able to utilize concepts, planets and societies he created in several books within others. He tied his worlds together quite a bit.
