Synopsis
An impossible murder in a city where no one can lie—not even the murderer.
A man lies dead inside a locked workshop. Cameras show no one entered or left. The only suspect: a blood-spattered robot.
Max is the only cop on Mars ever to solve a murder. But because the victim was his friend—and because Max brought the robot back from the asteroid belt—his boss wants him off the case. Max keeps digging.
Every suspect must answer Max’s questions truthfully. But if a question forces them to incriminate themselves, the law sets them free. To catch a killer who can’t lie, Max must uncover the truth without asking a single question that could expose them.
Olympus City is buried inside a Martian volcano, where every life depends on tightly controlled systems for air, water, and power. Then someone tries to silence the robot. More people die. And Max discovers that the murder is part of a conspiracy threatening the entire city.
To save the city, Max must work with SCIFI, a robot that learned about humans from old-Earth TV shows. Unfortunately, it has a talent for asking the wrong questions—and breaking down at the worst possible time.
Blending a locked-room mystery with grounded science, fast action, and dry humor, SCIFI BOOK ONE is for readers who love clever puzzles, believable technology, and a robot with secrets and a wicked sense of mischief.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One stubborn cop. One mixed-up robot. A murder mystery and a conspiracy to destroy the only city on Mars.Max is the only cop on Mars who's ever solved a murder. But when his friend is killed in a locked workshop, his boss doesn't want him on the case. They already have a suspect: a mysterious robot. There are no robots on Mars-there's a good historical reason for that. Unfortunately, it was Max who brought this one back from the asteroid belt after it saved his life. Maybe that's why he's sure it's innocent. The robot claims to remember nothing. Its memory is empty-until it starts filling it with old TV shows from Terra. That gives it a unique personality but also causes problems. Martian culture is very different from a '90s sitcom. Max searches for the killer with the robot by his side. But as he follows the clues, he uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the survival of Olympus City. The city is built inside Olympus Mons, an extinct volcano. Its inhabitants depend on a fragile network of engineering systems for survival. Air, power, water, food. Everything must work perfectly if they are to live. Now someone wants to bring it all crashing down. If you like fast-paced stories with secrets, surprises, double-crosses, competent heroes, solid science, and a little humor, then you'll love SCIFI BOOK ONE: A Murder Mystery on Mars.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This Is NOT Another Killer Robot StoryThere is a robot. There is a murder. And the robot was alone with the body in a locked room. But Max is certain the robot is innocent, and Max is usually right. Usually. The robot is called S.C.I.F.I., and it's. different. Max is responsible for that. When he booted it up - by accident, obviously - he didn't have the manual or the right software. So the robot learned about the world from the worst possible source: old Earth TV shows. Max is a cop. Serious, competent, no-nonsense. When he returns to Mars, his new case should be easy. A dead man in a sealed room. One obvious suspect. Then the robot becomes a target. Now Max has to find the killer while protecting a machine that could tear his arms off - but only if it really wanted to. Max works in Olympus City. Are you thinking domes and spires? It's not like that. The surface is too dangerous. The city is buried inside a volcano. Like any city on a hostile planet, Olympus City survives on systems: air, water, food, and power. Each has to work flawlessly to support nearly a million people. When Max discovers a conspiracy to turn one of them into a weapon, the murder becomes the least of his problems. Suddenly, the robot may be their only chance of survival. Which might be more reassuring if it hadn't learned human behavior from watching Dallas and Dynasty. Imagine Reacher meets Poirot on Mars, with a robot who learned its social skills from questionable television. A fast-moving sci-fi thriller with fair clues, hard science, bad decisions, and a strange robot who may be Mars's only hope. This item is printed on demand.
