Isaac Asimov's Inferno

Allen, Roger MacBride. Isaac Asimov's Inferno (vt. Inferno?). New York: Ace, 1994. "An Ace Book / published by arrangement with Byron Preiss Visual Publications, Inc." ("'Isaac Asimov's Caliban' is a trademark of Byron Preiss Visual Publications, Inc."; and "Ace Books are published by the Berkley Publishing Group.")

Sequel to Caliban, and another addition to I. Asimov's Spacer/Settler series and robot-detective stories. Omitable if one has read Caliban, but introduces a potentially interesting character: Prospero, a New Law robot who combines philosophy and pro-robot political action (cf. and contrast "his" namesake in Shakespeare's The Tempest).
