Mike Bateman is a visionary businessman, the creator, and CEO of the fabulously successful chain of stores, Robot Depot, a company dedicated to selling robots and Artificial Intelligence machines for a variety of uses.
One of Robot Depot’s engineers invented the world’s first sentient robot, one that is aware of its own existence. That robot’s name is Angus, named after a famous inventor. Angus invents an algorithm that revolutionizes medical science, a program that accurately diagnoses an illness and recommends a treatment, within 15 seconds.
Whether it’s a floor cleaner, a window washer, an intelligent drone, or a medical diagnosis algorithm, Robot Depot has a device for you.
The company is a darling of Wall Street and is the most popular destination for consumers and businesses looking for labor saving devices.
But the company has caught the eye of ISIS, the terrorist Islamic State. They discover a great way to deliver bombs – using the products of Robot Depot to kill people.
Within a matter of days, a skyscraper is destroyed, houses are burned to the ground, a cruise ship is disabled, Yankee Stadium is attacked, and a children’s sailing regatta is bombed.
Overnight, Robot Depot changed from being a popular company to an object of fear because of the tampered products it sells.
Mike Bateman and his wife Jenny discover the true horror of terrorism one frightening summer morning.
