About the Book A detective story with a touch of science fiction in the full novella-length (20,000 words) introduction to Mac, an android detective and his veteran human partner, Detective Frank Stagg. Mac isn't the powerful mechanical Robocop of the movies, you see, but a delicate sensing and problem-solving device and needs Stagg to defend and protect him. Their first case together seems to be inconsequential, a missing person, and the resolution seems to imply no crime has actually been committed but it leads to murder and madness as the pair confront a national institution. Fast-paced and occasionally light-hearted, Robotec contains enough twists and turns to satisfy every mystery fan. This taster version has over half the story with all of the characters and plot introduced. It doesn't solve the mystery, but isn't that half the fun? Find the resolution by reading the full version if you find it entertaining enough.
