Heya, pal. It's Rusty, and I'm just as surprised as you are. Right when me and Piper thought we'd had the wildest adventure in the cosmos, Mike and Jenna waltzed in, dressed to the nines, with grins on their faces and a yarn of their own to spin. See, Jenna’s got feelings for Mike she ain’t ready to share, but you can't play hard-to-get when one of your passengers is a big blue slug who can read your emotions like an interstate billboard. Toss in Karlie and Feebee, the galaxy’s most lovable agents of mayhem, and things go off the rails faster than a circus train on ice.

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.

Management will ihn eingeschmolzen sehen, und sein vorlautes Mundwerk hilft ihm nicht gerade. Er könnte still und leise verschwinden. Er könnte auf Nummer sicher gehen. Er könnte, zum ersten Mal in seiner elenden Existenz, das Vernünftige tun. Aber das tut er nicht. Das tut er nie. Wenn du Douglas Adams, John Scalzi oder Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries liebst, wirst du dies verschlingen.
