Even in Empire City, a town where weird science is the hope for
tomorrow, it's hard for a robot to make his way. It's even harder for a
robot named Mack Megaton, a hulking machine designed to bring mankind to
its knees. But Mack's not interested in world domination. He's just a
bot trying to get by, trying to demonstrate that he isn't just an
automated smashing machine, and to earn his citizenship in the process.
It should be as easy as crushing a tank for Mack, but some bots just
can't catch a break.
When Mack's neighbors are kidnapped, Mack sets off on a journey through
the dark alleys and gleaming skyscrapers of Empire City. Along the way,
he runs afoul of a talking gorilla, a brainy dame, a mutant lowlife, a
little green mob boss, and the secret conspiracy at the heart of
Empire's founders--not to mention more trouble than he bargained for.
What started out as one missing family becomes a battle for the future
of Empire and every citizen that calls her home.
