Robots en imperium

Meer over het boek

Isaac Asimov's <i>Robots and Empire</i> heralds a major landmark in the Asimovian galaxy of science-fiction. For it not only presents the sequel to <i>The Robots of Dawn</i>, but also interweaves all three of Asimov's classic series: Robot, Foundation, and Empire.<p>Two hundred years have passed since <i>The Robots of Dawn</i> and Elijah Baley, the beloved hero of the Earthpeople, is dead. The future of the Universe is at a crossroads. Though the forces of the sinister Spacers, Dr. Kelden Amadiro has never forgotten - or forgiven - his humiliating defeat at the hands of Elijah. Now, with vengeance burning in his heart, he is more determined than ever to bring about the total annihilation of the planet Earth.</p><p>But Amadiro has not counted on the equally determined Lady Gladia. Devoted to Elijah Baley, the Auroran beauty has taken the legacy of her fallen lover, vowing to stop the Spacers at any cost. With her two robot companions, Daneel and Giskard, she prepares to set into motion a daring and dangerous plan ... a plan whose success - or failure - will forever seal the fate of Earth and all who live there.</p>
