    Be careful when you fall down the rabbit hole... because this isn’t your regular Wonderland. 
    AliƧin is living the dream – too bad she doesn’t feel like it. With the rockstar costume her manager forces her to wear feeling more like a straightjacket, she wishes she could ditch it all and just sing. 
    After her broken-down tour bus ends up stranding her in Nowhere, a chance encounter with a hysterical rabbit leaves her tumbling down the rabbit hole into Wonderland... only this isn’t the Wonderland everybody knows. 
    Stuck in a bizarre world and searching for her way home, AliƧin bumps into a quirky cast of characters – including the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse, and the Cheshire Cat – who, in many ways, seem as lost as she is. With a little advice and pieces of her rockstar costume, she helps each of them become who they were meant to be. 
    But when AliƧin catches the ire of her “most majestic majesty” the Red Queen, she’ll have to pull off the best concert of her life if she wants to escape Wonderland without losing her head.

    What does it feel like to have the whole world know they owe you their salvation? Is it pride? Basking in self-admiration? A realization of your own greatness against the backdrop of anonymity shared by everyone else? There are lots of possibilities, only none of them describes what actually happened. Instead of becoming the savior, Leg Ondo was made a mockery. The being governing the planet forbade his totems and chosen people to disclose information about the battle between the demons and dragons. And that left the world confused. What did the Brown Bear clan do to deserve the avalanche of goodies that came pouring down on it? Should they be knocked off the pedestal they so recently climbed atop? 
     
     
     
    But even that would be manageable if it weren't for one thing: the multilevel competition designed to bring the three empires closer together. How did Leg Ondo possibly get himself involved this time?

    "Let's Get Together" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov. It was originally published in the February 1957 issue of Infinity Science Fiction, and included in the collections The Rest of the Robots (1964) and The Complete Robot (1982). The robots in this tale are very different from Asimov's norm, being quite willing to work as war machines. The tale is also based on a continuation of Cold War hostility, rather than the peaceful unified world of most of the robot stories.
