"The great Bot recall begins, General Liao demands nothing less than the total obliteration of all humanoid robots. Desperation makes for strange bedfellows as Hart's people reach out to unexpected allies in the corporate world, amongst the humans who protest the very existence of Bots, and even in the house of their greatest enemy. They all must work together or face the same fate: annihilation. They will need all the help they can get"--Publisher.

"The military Bot program is a shameful failure. Everyone wants to forget, but that's hard to do with Edmond West running free and more and more Bot agitation every day. General Liao makes one last ditch attempt to get the situation under control. Meanwhile, the SennTech Bot program is an unqualified success: a SennTech Bot in every bedroom and boardroom, and a never-ending glut of personal information funneled directly into SennTech. In hiding, Hart's people are creating something different-someting the world has never seen before."--Publisher.

"When Shannon Liao sees an internet video of a man doing what seems to be impossible, she finds a rabbit-hole of human-Bot interaction, extreme body modification and, possibly, the solution to all her problems. Meanwhile, Edmond wanders around in a self-imposed exile, taking up with an isolated community where nothing more mechanically advanced that a small motor is permitted. These people are convinced that Bot supremacy will destroy the world. They are preparing diligently for the end."--Publisher.
