In the final chapter of the Bot Trilogy, survival is no longer enough—it’s time to fight back.

After a long and perilous journey, the friends have reached the subterranean rebel stronghold of Cheyenne Mountain. However, not everyone who set out has made it this far, and the promises of peace and safety prove fleeting. NXES—the relentless AI created to enforce Travis Eckhart’s brutal Transition—has unleashed its merciless bot armies to hunt down every last survivor. Life at the Mountain hangs by a thread as tensions rise, alliances falter, and the weight of the war presses down on all.

Amira Fahmi, once uncertain of her purpose, has become vital to the resistance.

With her programming expertise and unrivaled knowledge of the bots, she is now a critical asset in the rebels’ fight for survival. But as the resistance places their faith in her abilities, Amira must face daunting odds and take risks that will push her beyond her limits—forcing her to uncover a strength she never imagined she possessed.

Adam Wesley feels adrift. The roles of leader and protector—burdens he never wanted—are no longer needed at Cheyenne Mountain. As his friends find their places within the resistance, Adam is left questioning where he belongs. But his quest for purpose will test him in ways that threaten not only himself but also the fragile bonds that hold the group together.

In this epic conclusion to The Bot Trilogy, battles rage, sacrifices mount, and humanity’s future teeters on a knife’s edge. To survive, the friends must face impossible choices and find strength in their bonds—or risk losing everything.

Victory is within reach—but at what cost?
