| book description |

Isaac Asimovâ€™s Robot series â€“ from the iconic collection I, Robot to four classic novels â€“ contains some of the most influential works in the history of science fiction. Establishing and testing the Three Laws of Robotics, they continue to shape the understanding and design of artificial intelligence to this day. Gladia Delmarre's homeworld, the Spacer planet Solaria, has been abandoned â€“ by its human population. Countless robots remain there. And when traders from Settler worlds attempt to salvage them, the robots of Solaria turn to killingâ€¦in defiance of the Three Laws of Robotics. Pax Robotica Long ago, Gladia's robots Daneel and Giskard played a vital role in opening the worlds beyond the Solar system to Settlers from Earth. Now the conscience-stricken robots are faced with an even greater challenge. Either the sacred Three Laws of Robotics are in ruins â€“ or a new, superior Law must be established to bring peace to the galaxy. With Madam Gladia and D.G. Baley â€“ the captain of the Settler traders and a descendant of the robots' friend Elijah Baley â€“ Daneel and Giskard travel to the robot stronghold of Solariaâ€¦where they uncover a sinister Spacer plot to destroy Earth itself.
