A suspenseful, intriguing tale of the future... Quiet, deceptively unassuming Amelia Roberts has been appointed Director of Earth's elite robot-hunting organization, the Controllers. Her second in command is the spectacular Valentine, whose physical attributes are but one facet of her strengths - and her weaknesses. The Controllers, with Valentine in field command, are in pursuit of Earth's most dangerous criminal, a woman known as the Doctor, genius creator of amazingly human-like androids. Locating the Doctor has become an even greater imperative. She, along with her android cohorts, has joined forces with Grant, a man who is her genius equivalent. Together they have hatched a plot to kidnap the son of Earth's President. But the Controllers, under Amelia's direction, are a match for the cleverness of Grant and the Doctor...Who exactly is the resourceful, enigmatic Amelia? Could the rumors be true that she herself is the most sophisticated of robots? And what about the sexually magnetic, unpredictable Valentine and her own murky origins?
