BEYOND ROBOT CITY AWAITS A BRAVE NEW GALAXY OF ROBOTS AND ALIENS

His name is Derec. His memory destroyed, his quest for identity has led him across the galaxy. Slowly, he is finding the pieces of his life. First Ariel Burgess, the woman whose love he had to win three times. Then his father, Dr. Avery, the mad genius whose experiment Derec has become.

Now he is caught up in an experiment that threatens to undermine the Laws of Robotics. He must deal with three robots that have no fixed shape, no clear sense of what is a human and what is not. They are his mother’s creations, but do her robots spell doom or salvation?
