Review: Isaac Asimov's Caliban
Isaac Asimov's Caliban by Roger MacBride Allen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Despite the fact that Caliban was not written by Issac Asimov, it holds true to his style and tradition. We see Asimov's tried and true method of storytelling in the elements of futuristic crime solving-- a la Elijah Bailey-- and the application of the three laws. Where Allen shines in the storytelling of Caliban is the development of the New Laws and the ultimate robot, Caliban, who exists with no laws other than the laws he creates for himself. A great read for fans of Asimov!
