Blurb:
Generations after robots
conquered Earth, the remaining population survives in the ash of their defeat.
Within their walls in Authority City, bots test and develop super soldiers.
Rumors of horrible experiments are enough to keep humans in line. At least,
most humans.
Eighteen-year-old Delilah
O’Connor scavenges the ruins with her friend Zane, and Gen, a generation one
bot they repaired off the grid. Gen’s curiosity gives Delilah hope for the
future, but not enough hope to go against the Authority. She finds Zane’s
dreams of a human resistance pointless, and it’s enough to keep their
on-and-off relationship mostly
off.
When
they discover two dead guards in a shady trading stop known as the Banks,
everything changes. Framed for the murders and pursued by Authority bots, Zane
takes Delilah to the only safe space he knows—the headquarters for the Human
Coalition. Even there Zane isn’t safe. When he’s captured, Delilah and Gen must
join an unlikely alliance of bot and human to go in to Authority City and save
him before he becomes another casualty. Things in Authority City aren’t as they
seem, they’re worse. And Delilah might lose more than her friend within its
walls.

Brute shook his head.
“Zane told us you were stubborn,” he said with a grin. “But he led us
to believe you could be fragile.” He tipped his head. “I’m
not sure he was right about that. From where I stand, you’re pure
steel. And we could have used you a long time
ago.”
“I plan to have a talk with him
about that,” she said, absently. What Brute didn’t know what how
fragile she was inside. How Zane had seen her the day her father died.
How he held her when her Aunt ran off and left them and she thought she’d die
in the streets. How he helped her get a job and earn her own
living. If she was steel, he’d forged her, and it was time to pay him
back.
“Well you probably know already,
but when someone goes in Authority City, they rarely come out.” He
gestured for Gen to get off the boat first. The bot swung her legs
over the rail gently, all the while watching the waves lap the
pier.
“But we are?” Delilah asked,
following them on to the pier. It was more unsteady than she thought,
and she had to hold Brute’s arm to avoid
falling.
“That’s the plan,” he
answered. “Smoke has a network set up for us to get them the
information they need. Then they plan to bust us out. And
not just us. This has been in the works for a long time.”
He stepped off the dock and looked back without a hint of amusement on his
face.
“She’s going to take out the
zoos?” Delilah asked. She wasn’t sure how she felt about
it. She’d gotten into this for Zane, but it was so much bigger than
that. And after spending the last few days with these people, they
felt like family.
Brute shook his head.
“She’s going to take the whole damn city out. And we’re going to help
her.”
