Synopsis

From the creators of Homeland and American Horror Story comes Fugitive X, the chilling sequel to Revolution 19.

After the robot revolution, anyone who escaped capture by the bots made their homes in secret freeposts in the wilderness outside the bot-controlled Cities. Siblings Nick, Kevin, and Cass never would have dreamed of venturing into the Cities, but when their parents are kidnapped, they have no choice but to follow them.

Not everything goes as planned, though, and the siblings find themselves fleeing the city without their parents. And then the three are separated, and for the first time, they are on their own. Cass is brought in for reprogramming by the bots; Nick joins up with rebel soldiers; and Kevin meets the man who is responsible for the robot technology—and their only chance at defeating the robots once and for all.

As the three fight to take down the bots, they must prepare for a looming war between bots and humans that will decide the fate of the human world forever.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Our fight for freedom is humanity's last hope for survival.

Siblings Nick, Kevin, and Cass are struggling to survive in a world where deadly, sophisticated robots have turned on their creators and enslaved mankind. Fugitives from one of the bot-controlled Cities, the siblings venture into the woods. But when they are attacked by bot foot soldiers, the siblings are separated . . . and for the first time, they are on their own.

Cass is captured and brought back to City 73 for re-education, where she emerges a completely different person—and learns the truth about where she comes from. Kevin is living in a hidden, off-the-grid refuge run by a robotics genius who could be their only chance at defeating the enemy once and for all. Nick, desperate to reunite his family, joins up with a group of rebel soldiers to take down City 73 by whatever means necessary. But the soldiers have their own ideas about how to fight this war, and if he's not careful, Nick may find himself in even greater danger than he was with the bots.

A war between humans and robots is on the horizon, and only one side will survive. But what the siblings don't know is that their movements are being closely monitored, and they are more important to the bots than they could have ever imagined. . . .
