Daneel Olivaw by "the writer who virtually invented the science fiction mystery. In his novels THE CAVES OF STEEL 1954 and THE NAKED SUN 1957 and in the stories collected as ASIMOV'S MYSTERIES 1968 he masterfully bridged the gap between the two genres and proved that genuine detective fiction could be set in the future as well as in the present or past." - Pronzini and Muller 1001 Midnights p. 29. The human/robot detective team solve another murder this one committed on Solaris an Outer World with a robot-run economy where the twenty thousand Solarians thinly spread out over the surface of the planet live in near total isolation from each other and the presence or touch of another Solarian produces incapacitating physical repugnance. Bailey from an underground Earth city must overcome his fear of open spaces to solve the crime. "In its setting it's a sort of inversion of THE CAVES OF STEEL and it's equally cleverly plotted." - Pringle The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction second edition 1995 p. 249.
