Inferno

In a Universe protected by the Three Laws of Robotics, humans are safe... When a key politician is murdered, suspicion falls on Caliban...the only robot without guilt or conscience, with no need to obey or respect humanity...a robot without the Three Laws. But the stakes go deeper than one man's life. Caliban is challenging long-held ideas of a robot's place in society. Will he lead his New Law robots in a rebellion that threatens all of humanity?

Second in a powerful trilogy that examines Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics—a challenge welcomed and sanctioned by Isaac Asimov, and written with his cooperation.
