From Library Journal
A comet, redirected to strike the ecologically bereft planet Inferno, could create new rivers or totally destroy the planet. The human colonists want to take the risk, but will the robots acquiesce? A satisfying conclusion to the trilogy (Inferno, Ace: Berkeley, 1994, and Caliban, LJ 2/15/93, coauthored with Asimov), which redefines Asimov's laws of robotics. Recommended for collections with the earlier books.

Cover Art: Bruce Jensen (illustrator). 1st Edition. © 1996: 3rd in the 'Isaac Asimov's Robot Mysteries' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Isaac Asimov's famous Three Laws, which provide far-future humanity with omni-compliant robots, ultimately led to a vision of hell - human existence with all challenge and conflict removed. Thus Asimov proposed the New Laws to Roger MacBride Allen, laws which endow humanity with helping hands, but not slaves. On Inferno the tensions between Spacer and Settler are as strong as ever, but now the majority of robots are working on terraforming rather than as personal servants. Governor Alvar Kresh is content to have his wife give support to the renegade robot leaders she has created, but is not so keen to advertise the fact. Caliban and Prospero, New Law robots, and their fellows have settles in Valhalla, a city in the northern Utopia region. What they are unaware of is that in order to bring the climatic changes essential for further terraforming, the Governor and his political colleagues are planning to bring down the Comet Grieg on Utopia causing massive devastation and creating an artificial sea. The New Robot haven will be destroyed:- Review(s): "'Isaac Asimov's Utopia' is the third instalment in a trilogy of momentous times. Roger MacBride Allen has been praised by the critics for remaining true to the ideals expressed by Asimov before his untimely death" / "Asimov would have been proud" - The Times:- (original cost £16.99).
