Can a robot be a hero? In this futuristic page-turner a Robo-Naut becomes more than machine. Romo awakens, self-aware onboard a Mars colony ship to find it in trouble. He doesn't know how he came to be there or why, but he knows that his new life and the lives of the passengers are in danger. PACE, an authoritarian Earth-based organization will stop at nothing to prevent the colonists from reaching Mars alive, and his presence onboard may be their only hope of survival.
