No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A revenge and redemption thriller set in a broken, brutal new world forged in nuclear fire, Machine State follows the trail of a hardboiled eco-cop, his AI partner, and a band of misfit reclaimers roaming the dark wastes, risking everything to redeem humanity.
After the world ended, Malcolm Adams signed on to save what was left of it. A losing battle.
Ravaged by global war and revolution, the America of 2064 walks a long road out of hell. So does Malcolm. The horrors and hard choices imposed by the apocalypse robbed him of chances at an ordinary life. Now, he helps salvage the shattered cities, though the dissidents thriving in their darkness make it bloody work. Despising the butcherβs bill, Malcolmβs service to a rising police state is sustained by a singular belief: he serves on the side of the angels.
But the Devil once believed that too.
The blinders come off when heβs assigned to an incursion into Los Angeles, his childhood home. There, he learns the truth behind the invasion: he wasnβt sent to save lives, but to enslave them. And the regime he serves, hellbent on acquiring power, doesnβt balk at collateral damage. Confronted by escalating coverups and a global conspiracy, Malcolm must step outside the law to seek reckoning. But justice is a stranger to such a twisted world, and to get it, heβll have to make choices that weigh life versus liberty and redemption against revenge.
