The action of the cycle takes place in the world created by Isaac Asimov in his series “Detective Elijah Bailey and the Robot Daniel Olivo” after the events of the last novel of the series “Robots and Empire”. An environmental disaster threatens death or expulsion to the inhabitants of the planet Inferno. The only method of salvation proposed by scientist Davlo Lentrall is very dangerous and does not guarantee success. Moreover, as a result of information leakage, those who do not like the plan come into play against Ruler Crash, who is ready to take risks for the sake of the future. They manage to ensure that robots stop following the tenets of the “Three Laws of Robotics” and instead of being faithful servants and helpers of people, become their main opponents in the struggle for survival.
