Synopsis
Earth detective Elijah Baley is summoned to the Spacer world of Aurora to investigate the mysterious mental destruction of a humaniform robot — a crime that only its creator could have committed. Partnered once again with R. Daneel Olivaw, Baley navigates the treacherous politics of a world where the fate of Earth's colonization efforts hangs on his ability to solve an impossible case.
