After political upheaval, economic collapse, and environmental disaster, the world has become a hotspot, boiling over into chaos of near apocalyptic proportions. In this perpetual state of emergency, all that separates order from anarchy is the military might of a United States determined to keep peace among nations waging a free-for-all battle for survival and supremacy. But a conflict unlike any before demands an equally unprecedented fighting force on its front lines. Enter the Remote Infantry Corps: robot soldiers deployed in war zones around the world, controlled by human operators thousands of miles from the action. PFC Danny Kelso is one of these โTin Men,โ stationed with his fellow platoon members at a subterranean base in Germany, steering their cybernetic avatars through combat in the civil-war-ravaged streets of Syria. Immune to injury and death, this brave new breed of American warrior has a battlefield edge thatโs all but unstoppableโuntil a flesh-and-blood enemy targets the Tin Menโs high-tech advantage in a dangerously game-changing counter strike. When anarchists unleash a massive electromagnetic pulse, short-circuiting the worldโs technology, Kelso and his comrades-in-arms find themselves trappedโtheir minds tethered within their robot bodies and, for the first time, their lives at risk. Now, with rocket-wielding โBot Killersโ gunning for them, and desperate members of the unit threatening to go rogue, itโs the worst possible time for the Tin Men to face their most crucial mission. But an economic summit is under terrorist attack, the U.S. president is running for his life, and the men and women of the 1st Remote Infantry Division must take the fight to the next levelโif they want to be the last combatants standing, not the first of their kind to fall forever.
