- -> Don't forget Isaac Asimov's Robot City (and Robots & Aliens) series.
- -> These books are not written by him, but other new, young
- -> authors. The Robots & Aliens series comes right after Robot City and
- -> there are six books in each series. I have read all six of Robot
- -> City and the first five of Robots & Aliens. There is an
- -> ad in Bks. 5 & 6 of Robot City about Bks. 7-12, but I have decided
- -> that those are the 6 books of Robots & Aliens after reading those
- -> first 5 of R&A.
-
- I found the Robot City books to be aimed at a VERY YOUNG audience.
- Beware of Asimov's later works as he was hit with a "grandfather
- disease," resulting in his catering and formating his books for
- children, especially those in which his wife had something to do with.
-
- I can't speak for the Robots & Aliens series as I have not read any of
- them, but if they are related to Robot City then forgo them unless you
- are in the under-16 crowd.
