Description
The robot Adam Two has been locked in the basement of a lost building for over two hundred years—until he emerges into a world ruined by a civil war between humans and advanced intelligence.
Hunted by both sides, Adam discovers that he holds the key to the war, and the power to end it—to destroy one side and save the other.
But first, Adam must decide who—and what—he really is.
