A very satisfying conclusion to the Elijah Bailey series. I really enjoyed the cross pollination of ideas across Asimov’s novels, it’s hard to imagine a more intricate storyteller insofar as he weaves together, so many different concepts and themes across volumes. I also found the discussion of sex to be very progressive for its time and therefore refreshing. All around it was a very worthwhile read.

Mi ha fatto venire voglia di tornare a leggere il ciclo delle fondazioni, non so se sia un bene o un male.

"The robots of Dawn" is that kind of book that makes you stop reading once in a while, lift your eyes, take a deep breath and exclaim: "Fuuuuuck!"

Once again, Isaac Asimov does not disappoint! In his third installment of the Robot series, Detective Bailey goes to the planet Aurora to solve a mystery: a humaniform robot has been killed. Its creator, Dr. Fastolfe, admits that he is the only one capable of killing the dead robot, but insists he is not responsible. If Detective Bailey cannot prove that Dr. Fastolfe was not responsible for the robot's death, the political ramifications could be dire.
This book was definitely more fun for me than the second book "The Naked Sun" because of the problem Bailey faces. I also loved the interactions between Bailey, Giskard, and Daneel, which were a highlight of this book for me. I loved how the story developed over the course of the novel, I loved how secrets were revealed, and the twist at the end was perfect.
Can't wait for the next one!
