Earth is in dark times. The human race has been largely drugged into a near coma in a corporate program begun in the 1960's. Robots have appeared, many virtually indistinguishable from humans, now becoming superior to humans by default. The Robot planet Flaatu, led by Flommy's ancient nemesis, the evil robot Deceptor Zero, has traveled fifteen billion light years to attack the Earth. A terrorist gang is planning to melt the Eastern Antarctic Ice Shelf, which will flood the planet. BOXOR the Boxing Robot has become addicted to computer viruses, leaving Flommy the Robot to save mankind. But will Flommy's mysterious past prove to be his undoing? Will the Earth -- what's left of it -- survive?
