      Lisa en Arthur zien elkaar maar een keer per jaar. Hij is altijd naar haar op zoek. Zij kan niet anders dan op hem wachten… Lisa Ames werkt in een bar in New York, hopend op haar doorbraak als actrice. Op een avond ontmoet ze Arthur Costello, een jonge arts. De twee voelen zich direct met elkaar verbonden. Maar Arthur is niet als andere mannen. Hij biecht al snel aan Lisa op dat hij nooit van haar zal kunnen houden. Door een bizarre speling van het lot, die alles te maken heeft met een oude vuurtoren, lijkt er een vloek op hem te rusten: ‘Wat er met mij gebeurt is onvoorstelbaar, maar waar…’ Tegen beter weten in besluiten ze om samen de strijd aan te gaan met de meest genadeloze vijand die er bestaat: de tijd.

      Andy Moore lost his father when he was just a small child. His father, a highly decorated Marine captain, died fighting in the South African War in 2014. A decade later, one of the kids at Andy's school claims that Andy's father wasn't a hero at all, that he released an illegal biological weapon that killed 5,000 civilians. The kid has evidence that seems to prove it but what nobody knows is that he hacked highly sensitive information from the South African government archives and doctored it to make Andy's dad look bad. And a slew of South African spies, willing to do anything up to and including murder, are about to descend on the school to get that information back...

      In a universe protected by the Three Laws of Robotics, humans are safe. The First Law states, A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. When an experiment with a new type of robot brain goes awry, the unthinkable happens. Caliban is created... A robot without guilt or conscience. A robot with no knowledge of or compassion for humanity. A robot without the Three Laws. Caliban is a searing examination of Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, a challenge welcomed and sanctioned by Isaac Asimov, the late beloved genius of science fiction, and written with his cooperation by one of today's hottest talents, Roger MacBride Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Ambush at Corella, The Modular Man, and The Ring of Charon.

      WHY? That crime and that question lead a biotransformed policewoman to a jungle of torture and forgotten gods; a writer to the Bohemian shadows of a vast city; and a scientist directly into the mind - into the nightmare soul - of the psychopath himself. This is science fiction at its best: a detective story, a story of virtual reality entrapments and the coming to consciousness of an Artificial Intelligence . . .

Then, one by one your suns start to set, gradually leading you into Darkness for the first time ever. Image the terror of such a Nightfall. Scientists on the planet Kalgash discover that an eclipse - an event that occurs only every 2049 years - is imminent, and that a society unfamiliar with Darkness will be plunged into madness and chaos. They realize that their civilization will end, for the people of Kalgash have a proven fear of Darkness, but they are unable to predict the insanity and destruction that will accompany the awesome splendor of Nightfall.
