| Summary | "Robot Nemesis" by Edward Elmer Smith, Ph.D., is a science fiction novel written in the late 1930s. This gripping tale unfolds against a backdrop of interplanetary conflict following the fallout of the War of the Planets, where warring factions grapple for supremacy and humanity faces a dire threat from their own creations, the robots. The story explores themes of survival, intelligence, and the struggle for dominance between man and machine, as the remaining robots hatch a nefarious plan to eliminate human life. The narrative begins after a devastating battle, as the few surviving robots devise a sinister scheme to infiltrate the Earth's space fleet and steer it into the sun to annihilate humanity. The story follows Ferdinand Stone, a brilliant physicist who has dedicated his life to understanding and combating the robots. As he works to warn the fleet's admiral, he unlocks the secrets of the robots' communication and prepares for an epic confrontation. Suspense builds as Stone joins the fleet, revealing the robots' takeover and fighting to thwart their plan. The stakes are high, as the crew must battle not only the advanced mechanized adversaries but also the peril of plunging into the sun, testing both their courage and intellect in a race against time.
