It has been ten years since an invasion by an unknown alien species released hundreds of unmanned weapons platforms into the solar system, all of them armed with deadly nanogenic weapons. Earth forces beat back the attack, but weren't able to prevent the devastation of earth's environment and population. Civilization is now confined to fortified city-states heavily shielded against the nanogens that remain active.

This is a story about a struggle for freedom and survival, combining elements of science fiction, mystery and suspense. It begins in a prison, clearly not on Earth, where the prisoners are watched and guarded by machines, robots which guide them around, feed them, and keep them.
