His nineteen-year-old son, Bentley, is on this particular exploit and is also planning to go into space. Patient fans’ appetites were whetted with a Baley and Daneel short story that appeared in a 1972 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact called, “Mirror Image.” Asimov said the general reaction was, “Thanks, but we wanted another novel.” Let’s take a look and see if it was worth nearly three decades of yearning.īaley has been promoted to a higher C-7 rating that allows him to go outside the concealed city and is attempting to begin again, so to speak, with a select group of agoraphobic humans-experiencing air, dirt, and other dizzying aspects of nature that in this future Earth is mostly patrolled by robots. There is a span of twenty-six years between The Naked Sun (1957) and The Robots of Dawn (1983), the next full-length sci-fi/mystery whodunit featuring Baley and his robot partner Daneel Olivaw. However, for Asimov enthusiasts, the wait was a great deal more labored. For Isaac Asimov’s detective, Elijah Baley, it’s been two long years since he’s set forth on an interstellar adventure, and though he once shuddered at the thought of hyperspace travel, he’s now itching to once again do some planet hopping.
