Perfect for
fans of Robopocalypse, this action-packed science-fiction debut
introduces a chilling future and an unforgettable heroine with a powerful role
to play in the battle for humanity’s survival.
The machines have risen, but not out
of malice. They were simply following a command: to stop the endless wars that
have plagued the world throughout history. Their solution was perfectly
logical. To end the fighting, they decided to end the human race.
A potent symbol of the resistance,
Rhona Long has served on the front lines of the conflict since the first
Machinations began—until she is killed during a rescue mission gone wrong. Now
Rhona awakens to find herself transported to a new body, complete with her DNA,
her personality, even her memories. She is a clone . . . of herself.
Trapped in the shadow of the life she
once knew, the reincarnated Rhona must find her place among old friends and
newfound enemies—and quickly. For the machines are inching closer to
exterminating humans for good. And only Rhona, whoever she is now, can save
them.
Praise for Machinations:
"A
tension-filled story of loss, loyalty, and forgiveness, with abundant
Terminator-style shoot-em-up scenes and a snarky, kickass female warrior. I
inhaled it!”
– Jennifer Foehner Wells, bestselling
author of Fluency
“This
violent, bloody, romantic tale is full of awesome mechanical foes and authentic
characters you love or hate, like real people . . . The nuances of the title
promise more than meets the eye, and the prose delivers.”

“An SF
techno-thriller with heart and soul.”
– Alex Bledsoe, author of The Hum and the Shiver

action and heartbreak, with quick pacing, rich characters, and a one-of-a-kind
story. A great debut.”
