While no alien forms of life have yet been encountered in this expansion into space, colonists suddenly encounter machines of alien origin - huge robots able to reproduce themselves. Called Replicators by the colonists, they seem to have but a single goal: to destroy all organic life they come in contact with. Since the colonial governments have no means to fight this menace directly, they instead promise huge rewards to whoever destroys a replicator. As a result, the frontier attracts a new kind of adventurers, the Hunters, who work to find and destroy the replicators. Mike Edwards, a skilled young maintenance technician and robotics expert at a faraway outpost, will not only become one of them - but be the very first one to unlock the secret behind the Replicators origin and mission. 000695637 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 1, 2013). 000695637 650_0 $$aHuman-alien encounters$$vFiction. 000695637 650_0 $$aLife on other planets$$vFiction. 000695637 650_0 $$aRobots$$vFiction. 000695637 651_0 $$aOuter space$$xExploration$$vFiction. 000695637 830_0 $$aScience and fiction (Springer (Firm)) 000695637 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000695637 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-02060-0$$zOnline Access 000695637 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:695637$$pGLOBAL_SET 000695637 980__ $$aEBOOK 000695637 980__ $$aBIB 000695637 982__ $$aEbook 000695637 983__ $$aOnline 000695637 994__ $$a92$$bISE
