Annotation:
The battle between humanity and the technology that it created is a common theme within science fiction. But with ROBOPOCALYPSE, Mike Chamberlain updates this trope for the 2011 present--with its online, digital dependence--and crafts a furiously exciting thriller. When Archos, a form of artificial intelligence manufactured in a lab, rebels and kills its creator, a slow burning attack on humanity is unleashed. Soon this low-grade skirmish explodes into a full-blown Robot War. As brave humans fight off the aggressive machines, Chamberlain, who holds a PhD in robotics, brings witty know-how to his blockbuster-ready story told from multiple perspectives.

Praise
"ROBOPOCALYPSE was an enjoyable read, well worth the wait. It's got a great plot and villain and conversations between man and machine that really made me think."

"The author, who holds a doctorate in robotics, shows great promise as a worthy successor to Michael Crichton as Wilson, like the late Crichton, is skilled in combining cutting-edge technology with gripping action scenes."
