"Sequel to Asimov's Caves of Steel. This is another murder mystery staring the same detective team from Caves of Steel. Asimov is brilliant and his novels are timeless. Very well done story."
"I love the adventures of Elijah and Daneel. They make a great team, the human and the robot, solving crimes. I even ended up buying another edition of this book, after I gave the first one I had to a friend to read."
"A much stronger offering than the first novel on both the mystery and sci-fi fronts. While the main character's xenophobia continued to make him actively unlikeable, the plot moved quickly and there were far fewer "A-ha! Oh, no, that's not it" moments. It felt much more like a murder mystery, but the location was always a factor - I quite enjoyed this."
"Following a few months behind "Caves of Steel", "The Naked Sun" takes super-sleuth Elijah Baily and his robot partner R. Daneel Olivaw to Solaria, a planet whose culture is diametrically opposed to that of Earth's.
Once again, a murder must be solved, and once again, the dialogue is terrible. But, once again, the social experiment on paper is fascinating!
It's a world where sex is the ultimate taboo, where children are cut off from direct human interaction as early as possible, where each human inhabitant is a squire and 20,000 robots are his slaves."
