From the deep sea, to inside of a human bloodstream; from the innercity, to one of the moons of Jupiter, from the cornfields of America, to the recovery of Spanish gold, and more! This anthology of drone stories should entertain and surprise the reader with quick action, thoughtful concepts and the joyful realization that things are not always as the reader might think them to be.

They go farther, a thousand light-years behind enemy lines to a planet that used to be important. It's no longer the home of the Vestrall but of a biomechanical race that is little more than drones. 
 
 
 
Payne is convinced that their information will lead Leviathan to the heart of the Vestrall for a final battle for primacy. 
But they won't give their knowledge easily. Their gods have commanded them to fight.
