I'm the exact same situation concerning my Foundation and Robot -novels as DaddyHoggy, so I have to rely on my (nowadays increasingly faulty) memory...
Next in line: Giskard (a robot which - or who - became incapacitated by not upholding the first law throught inaction in favor of the then new zeroth law)

Giskard it is, though he was too modest to admit it. (He said that he and Daneel came up with it together)

I haven't read a thing by Alastair Reynolds. Does he write well?

I recently discovered Alastair Reynolds - Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days to be precise (two vaguely related novellas wrapped up in a single cover) - his style is excellent and I will be adding other titles that exist within his Revelation Space Universe to my book collection.Lucidor wrote:I haven't read a thing by Alastair Reynolds.

However, while I know the name of Sandra Voi - I have no idea how she died!

Ooh I know! She is killed by robot sandworms on Mars that shouldn't be there- (at that spot, at least) it was a set-up to derail peacetalks.
(Read virtually everything of Reynolds, and fear the day in the not to distant future when I will have read all that has been published...)
