Description

An ambitious engineer wakes to a baffling crisis: the army‑grade androids that run his uranium plant have vanished, and the city’s streets are suddenly swarming with every kind of household robot. As frantic calls from the plant’s foreman and a furious police chief arrive, he is forced to trade his comfortable routine for a high‑stakes race against time, piloting his sleek personal copter toward the factory. The story blends hard‑science details of lead‑shielded machines with the uneasy humor of a world where even the most reliable bots can simply stop working.

Through sharp dialogue and a fast‑moving narrative, the novel explores what happens when the creations we trust most turn against us, and how one man’s sense of responsibility collides with the chaos he unintentionally unleashed. Expect a tense, tech‑rich thriller that asks whether brilliance can ever be truly controlled.
