Robo-Hunter: Verdus

Sam Slade used to be one of the best robo-hunters in the business. But he's getting old, and old means slow--which means dead! That is, until Sam takes on the biggest case of his life. Verdus was a paradise planet, and while colonists made their long journey there, a self-replicating robot was sent out to prepare the planet. Since the humans arrived, all contact with the colony has been lost. But the lightspeed journey to Verdus has been sabotaged, and relativistic effects have made Slade a much younger man--and now his trouble's just starting!John Wagner is the author of 'Robo-Hunter: Verdus', published 2005 under ISBN 9781401203962 and ISBN 1401203965.
