Review of 'To Protect (I, Robot: Reichert #1)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The book was better than I imagined. It didn't completely fit into the cannon, but as I mentioned, few things like this really can. But it worked. The story worked on several levels, and in the end I think it might be made to work on a cannonical level as well. People change, and if this book is any indication of the life that Susan Calvin will have, then I can see her moving from how she is depicted here to I, Robot.
I can think of this almost as the Doctor Who or Battlestar Galactica reimagining of Susan Calvin. And that's a compliment.
