The group of students soon learn that their strange "chaperones" impose strict rules and curfews. Brandon and some new friends, break some of the rules, and discover that not everything is as it seems, both on the human side, and the alien.

Life is good for humans on the world of Mechanica, where the eccentric robot-like natives like to dress themselves as classic Terran cars of the Twentieth Century. The demand for servants with opposable thumbs is high, and salaries are out of this world.
But then Hayden Atwood gets caught up in war between the robot-like Mechanicals and their intelligent monkey adversaries. And when he's accused of killing the Monkey King, it seems even the cars are out to get him. Pursued across the planet, he has nowhere to turn but an odd band of friends and the turncoats and traitors who think they can sell him to the highest bidder.
Car chases, crashes, conspiracies, and just a little bit of romance make Mechanica a delightful romp for everyone.

The great wars continue as the surviving humans battle in space over the scattered fragments of the Earth that still revolve in a vast ring around the Sun. And what's worse, David soon finds that he seems to have been brought back to life as a secret weapon, equipped with all manner of powers and abilities he doesn't' understand and can't begin to control . . .

She was considered by some to be a bit of a rebel, yet L2 never intended to rebel against the State. That is until Packard, a young, natural-born male Superior took her out of the White Camp and into his home. What Packard wanted from L2 had nothing to do with her outstanding intelligence, nor her striking beauty. He had nothing less in mind than to enlist her aid in overthrowing the State. A State that had given her life and, when the time came, would take it from her for its own betterment. But Packard hadn't counted on his Citizen catching the eye of the powerful State Elder. Nor had he counted on her developing such a strong personality once she was freed from the camp. It soon became a question of would L2 aid Packard because he was her Superior, or because she was loyal to the cause, a cause that, chances were, would lead Packard to his death and L2 to the dreaded Red Camp.

In the distant future, on the pioneer world of Hope's Planet, the first generation of settlers are busy carving a civilization out of a wilderness. Few in numbers, highly advanced technologically, followers of an austere and puritan religious faith, the settlers depend heavily on their many robots to do the common labor of the settlement. Robots who have become so advanced and sophisticated in their design that they seem almost human. As a result they are carefully controlled by a nervous, restless human population which is frightened of its own robots and what they might do if they ever get out of control. It is in this setting that Tague, one of the most advanced of the new generation of robots, does as he has been designed to do, think as a human. His resulting questions of morality make him the prime suspect when there is a brutally vicious assault on members of the family of his owners. Will the sheriff's investigations and others clear Tague's name, or will the innocent robot, who is seeking to know the nature of his own soul, be erased and dismantled, the innocent victim of a society that wants to blame robots for anything that goes wrong? Can Tague find his place in the world, or will he be destroyed before he has the chance?
