Robot City, Prodigy: A Byron Preiss Robot Mystery

BEYOND AURORA AWAITS A BRAVE NEW WORLD—OF ROBOTS

A man without memory named Derec, and a mysterious woman now known as Ariel are trapped on the confusing, surprising, and sometimes deadly world of Robot City.

Derec learns that Ariel is stricken with a disease that leads to fatal madness, and both are startled to learn that the robots’ positronic consciousness has given rise to artistic expressions. Yet even as these developments arise, the city itself groes ever more deadly to all of its inhabitants. Book 4 of an epic science fiction adventure.
