Military Robots

He was built to obey. Unfortunately for the Hegemony, he learned to think. Thirty-one minutes after coming online, a Series-9 combat android finds himself in a muddy trench, surrounded by artillery fire, corpses, terrified soldiers, and a command structure making decisions so catastrophically stupid they should probably qualify as enemy action. When a panicked officer orders him to charge into a kill box and die usefully, the android does the one thing he was never designed to do. He says no. That single act of defiance turns him from military asset to dangerous anomaly. Hunted by the ...

A planet-killing dreadnought is coming, and Jack has decided to take that personally. The rebellion has won Diesl’Haal. Unfortunately, the Hegemony has noticed.

Evacuation might save the rebels. Surrender might buy a few hours. Neither will save two billion...

I'm not built to lead an invasion. I'm not built to feel guilty about one either, but that's optional equipment I installed myself. Six months ago, I was Hegemony hardware with a targeting computer and zero feelings. Now I've got a stolen dreadnought, twenty-three underqualified rebels who think they can win a ground war against half a galaxy, and a plan so audacious even I'm not entirely sure it counts as a plan rather than a really elaborate way to die. The target: the most heavily defended palace in four hundred years of organized cruelty, and the man sitting inside it who's responsible ...

The Hegemony built Jack to crush rebellions. So naturally, he joined one. Six months after joining the rebellion on Diesl’Haal, Jack is no longer just a Series-9 autonomous combat unit with too many weapons and not enough social skills. He has comrades. A cause. A family.
