"A man without memory, stranded on an icy asteroid. His only chance for survival
is locked within a band of mining robots who are dutifully searching the surface
for a mysterious object known as the Key to Perihelion. His name is Derec.
His journey will take him to a city different from any he has ever known.
A fantastic metropolis beyond his dreams..."

And so begins the story of Derec and Ariel (and assorted others) who start out
very young (teens?) in this and the following series (Robots and Aliens) and turn
up for encores older, a little sadder and (perhaps) wiser in the Robot Mystery
series written after Asimov's death.

Six short books (about 6 hr. each in these TTS audio versions) make up the Robot
City series that was proposed by Asimov to some younger writers. Each book begins
with a short essay by Asimov that is somewhat related to the book.

The books:

1. Odyssey, by Michael P. Kube-McDowell
2. Suspicion, by Mike McQuay
3. Cyborg, by William F. Wu
4. Prodigy, by Arthur Byron Cover
5. Refuge, by Ron Chilson
6. Perihelion, by William F. Wu
