Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - absolutely marvelous!
this really captures the feeling of asimov's laws of robotics and provides an interesting glimpse of what happens when aliens are entered into the equation. Bravo, Leigh!
Rating: - wonderful evocation of asimovian robots
stephen leigh's contribution to the asimovian Robot City is splendid--convincing aliens, lots of thoughtful interaction and robots who respect the Three Laws of Robotics. Not to be missed.
Rating:  - Hardly New - first published in 1989
If you are expecting a new book based round the 3 laws of robotics, by hte great writer Isaac Asimov, whoops. Each book has a different writer, Stephen Leigh the first, and COrdell Scotten Book 2.
A man who has forgotten his name, a city that changes itself to fit the occupants, a robot form shifting robot. A tower that holds the keys to Perihelion, which is a stop in a galaxy wide warp point instantaneous transport system. This will certainly stretch your imagination.
