This appears to be the second book of a proposed trilogy. The first (by the same author) is titled “Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot: To Protect” ( http://www.amazon.com/Isaac-Asimovs-Robot-To-Protect/dp/0451464893/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_1 ).
I’ve found some of the books that take place in Asimov’s extended universe to be pretty good (the Caliban trilogy, the Second Foundation trilogy) but have not read the first book in this series yet.
The reviews at Amazon are pretty “iffy” and range from good to bad. Guess we’ll see if things pick up with the second book.

I am conflicted. Is it fair to call a work “Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot” if it is not written by Isaac Asimov? Heck, extend this to anything: Is it fair to call something “Uncle Bob’s thingamajiggum” if it is not made by uncle Bob?

No one reviewed the first one, “I Robot: To Protect”?

That wasn’t the only typo before it went live. Good catch!

Synopsis says “contents” probably should be “contends”?

Not sure what to think about this one. Big fan of Asimov’s robot short stories and the cover and description sound promising. Can anyone tell me about their experience with the author’s work?
