Invariable Man: The Novel

Based on the bestselling short story of the same name.

Old Micah Dresden has an uncanny talent for repairing broken technology. This is fortunate for him, because he lives in the Boneyard, a junkyard that stretches for miles in the Desert Southwest. When a stranger shows up whispering rumors of war—a revival of the terrible Machine Wars of a decade before—Micah determines to activate Machine X, a futuristic ship designed by the defeated enemy AI and now locked away by the government.

To reach it, Micah and his obsessive-compulsive robot Skip will need to battle through scavengers and the dreaded Beast.

But none of this prepares him for what he ultimately discovers.
