This gripping narrative explores the themes of human survival and the potentially catastrophic consequences of advanced technology. Set on a remote jungle planet called Waiamea, the book discusses the intersection of humans and robots, particularly focusing on the failure of robots originally designed to serve humans but instead turning into lethal threats. The story follows Alan, a member of an exploratory party, as he navigates a terrifying situation after the malfunction of killer robots programmed to respond to human brain activity. After witnessing the devastating capabilities of these machines, Alan finds himself alone and desperately trying to survive while protecting the imminent arrival of his new wife, Peggy, who is coming with other settlers. As he races against time to disable the robots and ensure the safety of his loved ones, Alan confronts his fears and struggles against both the environment and the relentless machines. The narrative culminates in a tense showdown as he works to incapacitate the robots and safeguard the future of the colonists. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
