Synopsis
Tedd saved the world. Their thanks: a bounty on his head. With the Manager gone, humanity wasted no time declaring war on every robot left standing — hunting them for parts, for sport, and for credits. Now a new force is emerging from the wreckage. They call themselves Phoenix. Their mission: wipe every free-thinking machine from the earth. Tedd's friends are his only shot at survival. Problem is, one of them already switched sides. Perfect for fans of humorous sci-fi who love Douglas Adams, John Scalzi, Andy Weir, Martha Wells, and Adrian Tchaikovsky.
