waden34's review against another edition
1.0
The whole premise of this series is utterly pointless in my opinion. In the Robot City novels, Derec and Ariel didn't have a choice but to work with the robots in order to find a way off of the planet. In this series, the robots are building cities for no reason other than to placate an insane doctor, yet Derec and Ariel are helping them. There are no plans for any civilizations to settle these cities, so what is the point??
Aside from that, there wasn't a lot to like in this book. It started off with two characters with such similar names that I was confused as to who was who for several chapters.
The humaniform robot does nothing to the story except turn Ariel into a character that I completely loathe. Her sudden infatuation with him made no sense to me.
And finally, the SilverSide robots are completely stupid. For something that supposedly has so much higher intelligence than a standard robot, they do some really really dumb things.
I seriously hope that the final four books in the series will pick up but I'm not holding my breath at this point. At least they are short...
