Description
Robot Nemesis is a science fiction story by Edward Elmer Smith, first printed in Thrilling Wonder Stories in June 1939. Its first chapter, The Ten Thinkers, opens in the far future. The War of the Planets is taken to have ended on 18 Sol, 3012, with the Battle of Sector Ten.
In that fight the Grand Fleet of the Inner Planets met the fleet of the Outer Planets in a desperate bid for the mastery of space. Neither side won. Both fleets were so shattered that the survivors despaired of fighting on, and the crippled ships limped home. Since then neither side dares attack, for each waits on a super-weapon. Yet the secret services are so efficient that no such weapon can be perfected in secret. Behind the known stalemate, the tale promises, lies the untold story of the conflict between humanity and the robots.
