Summary: Series is Slowing Down
Comment: The series is slowing down, with Nystrom and Ishihara growing slightly desperate, but their gambits seeming to come further than ever from succeeding. At this point, it begins to be questionable whether they will ever succeed.
The story is slower and not as much fun. At this point, the series begins to deteriorate and the rest of the books are not as worth reading as the first four.
A good book, but not worth the search that it takes to find it. I recommend it if it is easy to find, but otherwise I wouldn't bother.

Summary: Interesting, but slow
Comment: I rather liked this book, which I read as a translation into Spanish. It's an interesting idea and offers many possibilities for the author. I would certainly like to buy more titles in this series, although I find that they are out of print in English.
My one complaint about the book is its rather slow pace. There is not a great deal of what you can call action. Transport to China, find Marco Polo, get access to the court, find robot, beat the bad guy to the punch... not a lot for so many pages.
I did wonder about how a group of travellers from our future could find it so easy to transport to China, integrate themselves into society, pass for Chinese (or races known to the Chinese) and get along with so little difficulty. Perhaps it would have given more scope to the author if he had made life a bit more tricky for his characters. Barring a rather easily foiled kidnap attempt, things seem just too easy for our superhuman heros.
Anyhow, the book is a good read (although associating it with Isaac Asimov's name certainly influenced me into buying it, it's relation to Asimov is tenuous apart from using his laws of robotics) and I felt that it was money quite well spent.

Summary: The Time Travel team goes to China to recover robot parts.
Comment: This is not the best of the Robots in Time series, but certainly a recommended reading. The Time Travel Team from Mojave Center goes back to 13th century China to recover the 5th component of MC governor. Along the way they come in contact with Marco Polo and Kublai Khan. A good book for anyone who enjoys good Science Fiction.
