There is also so humerous scenes involving a Droid "preacher" discussing the needs of Droid liberation and Amelia's interaction there with. returnreturnAs far as the main plat against abolov the idea of the sentioned computer chips is a bore. returnreturnI cannot recommend this book on its own, and Until I read the rest of the series I'm not even sure I can recommend getting through this to get to the rest or not.
