    My favorite of the Bailey-Olivaw seriesby Anonymous

    November 10, 2003: In my opinion, they should have ended the series with this book. ROBOTS AND EMPIRE was okay but not great. What I liked best about ROBOTS OF DAWN was the same aspect which made CAVES OF STEEL and THE NAKED SUN so appealing, and that was the partnership between Earthman Elijah Bailey and Auroran robot Daneel Olivaw. It is interesting to imagine a future where robots can be created that look, act and even feel in ways that humans can. Daneel Olivaw remains one of the most interesting characters conceived by Isaac Asimov. Truly and enjoyable work and very philosophical in theme.

    Has to be one of Asimov's bestby Anonymous

    August 24, 2000: You can read this one several times without losing any of the excitement. I believe that the Elijah Bailey series (Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, Robots of Dawn, Robots and Empire and not to forget the short story Mirror Image) should be made into a movie series. These are exciting tales that are simply unforgettable.
