Summary: A reasonable ending to the trilogy
Comment: The behind the eyes thinking was revealed better in Utopia than Inferno, but I would have liked to have seen more time spent behind Prospero's eyes. Prospero was the only New Law Robot you really get to meet, and for all his faults was complex and manipulative, but unlike Caliban, his thinking was rarely revealed except through overt actions. The governor, formerly police chief had serious planet wide dillemas and his tension was felt more. Since he married his one time adversary Fredda, I would have liked to have seen a more complete interaction than was done. The ending was a bit rushed, and I feel that some serious consequences were not dealt with.

Summary: The best in the series
Comment: This culmination of the robot series by Roger MacBride Allen is the best in the series. There is plenty of action and suspense, as there was in the second book, "Inferno", and there is plenty of depth, as there was in the first book, "Caliban". The Three-Law robots, Four-Law robots, and No-Law robots create confusion in their interactions with human society and, through that confusion, the impact of technology and artificial intelligence on people is put in the spotlight. This is a well-writen, and well-thought-out book, and it wraps up the series nicely.

Summary: Highly recommended to fans of Asimov's robot stories
Comment: Asimov's robots have delighted me since I was a boy, so it was a wonderful surprise to find new robot stories written by a capable author. The philosophy and plot lines of the new novels are true to the Good Doctor's vision and make a fine addition to the legacy left by Asimov. Caliban, Inferno and Utopia are all good, but Utopia is the best. Read them all, and enjoy once again being immersed in the wonderful world Isaac Asimov created for us!
