From Publishers Weekly

This month brings the third and final installment (after 2000's Mirage and 2001's Chimera) in Mark W. Tiedemann's Isaac Asimov's Robot Mysteries cycle, Aurora. With the failure of the Spacer mission on earth, ambassador Ariel Burgess and roboticist Derec Avery return to their home planet of Aurora, where they become suspects in a murder that seems to have been committed by a robotbut with the strict laws governing robotic behavior, the murder may point to a larger and more threatening plot, with ramifications for both personal memory and universal market forces.

Review

"Mark Tiedemann is science fiction's secret weapon: a shrewd and intelligent storyteller... Isaac Asimov would not have been disappointed with his Robot series, nor will the Good Doctor's many readers." - Allen Steele, Hugo Award-winning author of A King of Infinite Space

4.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent!, Jui 3 2002

I really didn't think Mr. Tiedemann could continue to please after the two parts of this story (Mirage and Chimera) proved to be so entertaining.....but I was wrong, Aurora was an excellent conclusion to this trilogy. I only dinged it one star (the first two got 5 stars) because a character I really liked and hoped to see again dies...oh well.

I whole-heartedly recommend this series!! Worth every penny!

5.0étoiles sur 5 A must read for all SF fans, Avril 23 2002
Par Linda Knoebel (Belleville, IL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Tiedemann brings Asimov's robot universe to life in unexpected ways. The complex twists and turns of the story keep your attention riveted.

Once you pick up this book, or any other of Tiedemann's work, you can't put it down until you reach the end. I's like getting a box of chocolates, you can't have just a little bite, you want the whole thing.

This book, in particular, delves into subjects and themes that are both cutting-edge and timeless. His characters seem real, with real problems and attitudes. Even his robots are imaginative and have personalities that capture the imagination and leave you wanting more.

I'd highly recommend this book to anyone that loves great SF.

5.0étoiles sur 5 This Brings Asimov Up to Date, Avril 16 2002
Par "timonsesaias" (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Okay, if you have any personal integrity whatsoever you've already read Mirage and Chimera, the previous Tiedemann titles in this Asimov's Robot Mystery series. They were both great reads, but this is the one that (being a SFWA member) I'm giving a Nebula recommendation to. (And I usually don't do that for so-called "sharecropper" novels.) Why? Because this novel goes way beyond the mystery/action level of the previous books, and brings the background into play in very interesting ways. Without discussing the plot, I'll only say that it also brings the Asimov "universe" up to date with the concerns of modern SF readers. Questions like "Where's the nanotech?" and "What about AI's?" and "What happened to the Spacers?" are dealt with, or ominously foreshadowed. Most importantly, the questions raised by the existence of Bogard are not swept under the rug or reduced to a mere plot point to be conveniently tied up later. Bogard raises fundamental questions about the Three Laws, and robotics in general, and Tiedemann faces up to them and lets them play out. Good stuff.
