About This Book

The narrative opens when an inventor finds his vast experimental machine dismantled and removed overnight by small autonomous repair units that have begun carting away its modular racks and panels. A technician on site is seized by the same devices and taken aboard a waiting ship while military observers attempt to identify a distant hostile fleet. The plot traces the hunt to recover the stolen apparatus and the kidnapped personnel, exploring themes of automated systems turned to sabotage, the vulnerability of advanced projects to covert action, and the escalating confrontations between rival powers over control of powerful technology.
