A review by sirchutney
Arm of the Law by Harry Harrison

4.0

A robot cop arrives at a small police department on Mars. The police force only possesses one legitimate officer, the protagonist. The mechanical officer of the law is assigned menial tasks while the local gangsters pay off the Chief of Police. All this changes when the robot to see some action.

While, the robot isn't a RoboCop sort of character this isn't a bad thing. This entertaining short story gallops along at a fair pace. The characters are colourful and the narrative is humorous. Easy to read, perhaps during your lunch hour or morning commute.
