WAR BIRDS

When an independent robot soldier makes a unique connection with an injured, flying drone, they flee the warzone they’re in to seek lives of their own. Their military builders want to destroy them, though, while a sympathetic pair of humans tries what they can to free the errant ’bots from military service! Steve Parkhouse, artist and co-creator of Resident Alien, joins writer Geoffrey D. Wessel in this thrilling tale of friendship and survival. Introduction by author Steve Parkhouse. Here's an excerpt: "Set in some indeterminate future, I realized that this story had all the hallmarks of mythology -- even a fairy tale. It has an unlikely heroine with an alter-ego that could conceivably be a princess. She is courageous, fearless even. She finds an even less likely hero in her own brother..." "Two armies are engaged in eternal warfare...ruthless, despotic, and utterly corrupt. Any advance in technology is immediately enslaved to further the cause of victory, until two of those slaves (our two robots) initiate their own rebellion by pitting themselves against the monsters in their own camp."
