Interesting, but slow, Jun 30 1998
By Mark Richard Kidger "bristolcity" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Emperor (Mass Market Paperback)
I rather liked this book, which I read as a translation into Spanish. It's an interesting idea and offers many possibilities for the author. I would certainly like to buy more titles in this series, although I find that they are out of print in English.My one complaint about the book is its rather slow pace. There is not a great deal of what you can call action. Transport to China, find Marco Polo, get access to the court, find robot, beat the bad guy to the punch... not a lot for so many pages.
I did wonder about how a group of travellers from our future could find it so easy to transport to China, integrate themselves into society, pass for Chinese (or races known to the Chinese) and get along with so little difficulty. Perhaps it would have given more scope to the author if he had made life a bit more tricky for his characters. Barring a rather easily foiled kidnap attempt, things seem just too easy for our superhuman heros.
Anyhow, the book is a good read (although associating it with Isaac Asimov's name certainly influenced me into buying it, it's relation to Asimov is tenuous apart from using his laws of robotics) and I felt that it was money quite well spent.

The Time Travel team goes to China to recover robot parts., Nov 28 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Emperor (Mass Market Paperback)
This is not the best of the Robots in Time series, but certainly a recommended reading. The Time Travel Team from Mojave Center goes back to 13th century China to recover the 5th component of MC governor. Along the way they come in contact with Marco Polo and Kublai Khan. A good book for anyone who enjoys good Science Fiction.

Excellent Series Of Books..., Mar 8 2010
By T. Nelson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Emperor (Mass Market Paperback)
Bought a couple of the series to complete my set. If you like Time-Travel stories, and robotics, this series will do the trick. Very good read.
