The Caves of Steel

Robot, Book 1

By: Isaac Asimov

Narrated by: William Dufris

Following the iconic I, Robot, the next adventure in the Robot series finds detective Elijah Baley swept into one of the most emotionally charged and dangerous situations in Earth’s history when he’s tasked with solving the murder of an illustrious robot scientist.

“With his fertile imagination, his wit, and his prolific output, Isaac Asimov truly laid the foundation for all future generations of science fiction writers.”—Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling co-author of the Dune prequel series

Like most people left behind on an over-populated Earth, New York City police detective Elijah Baley had little love for either the arrogant Spacers or their robotic companions. But when a prominent Spacer is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Baley is ordered to the Outer Worlds to help track down the killer.

The relationship between Life Lige and his Spacer superiors, who distrusted all Earthmen, was strained from the start. Then he learned that they had assigned him a partner: R. Daneel Olivaw. Worst of all was that the “R” stood for robot—and his positronic partner was made in the image and likeness of the murder victim!

Isaac Asimov’s Robot series chronicles the sometimes uneasy partnership between human and humanoid:
I, ROBOT • THE CAVES OF STEEL • THE NAKED SUN • THE ROBOTS OF DAWN

Great Classic

I enjoy reading old stories and hearing an author's perception of the future. It definitely makes my imagination work over time trying to fit there past view into my current.

Good listening.

Fist audiobook, very impressed. Good voice acting, haha. The story starts off slow, (not in a bad way) . But grows quickly. But the end I was fully invested, I understand why the opening was so detailed. Brovo!

Great story and delivery

Hard to believe this was written in 1954. My love of robot stories began here. Read this several times and enjoyed the audio just as much. Well done character voices. Brilliant characterizations and sci go details by Asimov.

Caves of Steel brought to life

The reading of this book was the best I have heard to date. You actually believed different people were reading the parts. Thoroughly enjoyably!

Love.

Always loved this book. Audi book is even better.
