The Dead Sun (Star Force Series)
“They’d been stalking me.
I’d suspected they would, of course. But it was a demonstration of their respect for me that when they did come, they did it with overkill. A rush of machines charged in unison.
They’d been as stealthy as large robots could be—which was to say, not terribly stealthy. When they came on in their final rush, I couldn’t miss it.
Dozens of flat, crab-like machines scuttled forward. I was up off my butt and heading into the wall of the dome the second I saw they w...ere near.

Normally, this wasn’t much of a problem. I’d walked through Macro domes on a number of occasions in the past.MoreLess
