Summary
The infamous Show Club has been burned to the ground in a devastating attack by the Anti-Robot Militia. Cicero Maximus, the criminal mastermind who established the venue as a refuge for robots in a world where many humans despise them, is forced to flee with what’s left of the community he established on the mean streets of Rouge City. The Show Club survivors, orga and mecha both, follow their boss west across the Delaware into the wilderness — with the ARM still close behind. Will they be able to forge a new life as performers in the travelling CIRCUS MAXIMUS? And will Gigolo Joe, the mechanical husband of Professor Allen Hobby, be able to resist the mutual attraction that draws him ever closer to the crime lord who saved both their lives?
