Summary
Plainclothesman Elijah Baley must travel to the planet
Aurora to investigate the murder of Robot Jander. He would
rather not. His last trip off-Earth on police business
resulted in a TV drama being made of the case – as a
result of which even his son Bentley suspects Elijah had an
affair with Gladia Delmarre, the murder suspect whom he
proved innocent. Not only does Gladia now live on Aurora, the
murdered robot belonged to her… and was her lover!
Elijah is teamed once more with Robot Daneel, and they
are joined by another interesting robot, Giskard. The
investigation should benefit from a secret and unique ability
possessed by Robot Giskard. But Elijah is disturbed by his
presence, sensing perhaps that Giskard’s positronic
brainpaths function to a hidden agenda. What Giskard knows
but Elijah does not is that the future of mankind in space
hangs on the outcome of this investigation…
