Alliance

His name is Derec. He has restored the original Robot City, but can he make it last? Three shape-changing, renegade robots threaten to destroy the city his father built. They urge the other robots not to obey Derec’s or Dr. Avery’s orders. Can they disobey the Three Laws of Robotics? A robot revolution hangs in the balance. The humans must convince the renegade robots that an alliance, not a revolution, is in their best interest. But these are robots with their own desires. Can Derec and Ariel convince them of who is human and who is not?

The future of mankind and robotkind wait for the answer!
