Negative Positive
Title: Brilliant!
Review: This book explores what will happen in the future when people move off Earth and colonise other planets, eventually rejecting Earth's ways which increases the hostility between the two factions under the guise of a murder mystery. A spacer (i.e. not from Earth) is killed on Earth and Detective Elijah Bailey is assigned the case. As a compromise he is given a spacer partner who turns out to be a human-like robot.As with all books not set in current time or in history the book has to spend a lot of time setting the scene and exploring the social climate and social consequences of Man's actions and the murder side of the book is a bit rushed and not fully explored. It is a brilliant future/science fiction/robot book, slightly let down by the murder mystery side of it.
