Isaac Asimov's Robot City: Robots and Aliens: Humanity

ISBN: 0441373860
Ace (1990), Paperback, 189 pages
LibraryThing

This book is actually the best one of the two robot city series (Robot City and Robots and Aliens). Unfortunately I had to wade through 12 not very good books to find it, and its still not stellar. I'd recommend giving both these series a miss unless you're obsessed with completeness in Asimov's Robot universe.

ISBN: 0441731309
Ace (1990), Paperback

Given how disappointed I have been in other books in this series, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The style is very readable, and the content is interesting. The plot seems more nuanced than some o f the others in the series, and the characters aren't as one dimensional either. This isn't the best book I have ever read, but it was surprisingly solid, especially given some of the poor ground work it h ad to deal with.
