After long years of war, the United States has sued for
peace, yielding to a brutal coalition of nations ruled by
fascist machines. One quarter of the country is under
foreign occupation. Manhattan has been annexed by a weird
robot monarchy, and in Tennessee, a permanent peace is
being delicately negotiated between the battered remnants
of the U.S. government and an envoy of implacable
machines. Canadian businessman Barry Simcoe arrives in occupied
Chicago days before his hotel is attacked by a rogue war
machine. In the aftermath, he meets a dedicated Russian
medic with the occupying army, and 19 Black Winter, a
badly damaged robot. Together they stumble on a machine
conspiracy to unleash a horrific plague—and learn that
the fabled American resistance is not as extinct as
everyone believes. Simcoe races against time to prevent
the extermination of all life on the continent . . . and
uncover a secret that America’s machine conquerors are
desperate to keep hidden.
