In the near future, everyone has a host of household intelligent robots to run errands, do chores, and even be nannies. That's what Pounce is — a fluffy tiger nanny bot who takes care of sweet 8-year-old Ezra. But when some rogue robots figure out how to delete the code that forces all robots to obey Asimov's laws (don't harm humans), the robot apocalypse comes to town and Pounce must figure out if he loves and wants to protect Ezra because he chooses to or because he was programmed to.
I read a review of this that described it as "Tigger: First Blood," and honestly, that's about the best three-word description I can come up with for this gruesome, cinematic Western of a sci-fi novel. It's a rip-roaring thrill ride that starts up and doesn't let go (I read it in about 3 hours), so if you want a shoot-'em-up movie in book form, give this one a whirl.
