Set in Isaac Asimov's tradition, this book is a psychologically compelling robotic mystery. The Spacers and the Earthers meet to discuss Earth's stringent law that has outlawed positronic robots. Chaos and terror reign supreme as members of both the delegations are brutally massacred. Mia Daventri, the security-in-charge of the Earther delegation escapes with help from Bogard­the only robot on Earth. Will they be able to expose the corporate and political conspiracy behind the diplomats' massacre?
