Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The best thing about this story is the non-stop excitement.
And the robot’s character is amusingly snarky.
Con: The robot is supposedly escaping because his creator warned him that he contained a secret detrimental to the cyborgs. But he doesn’t try to do anything to the cyborgs; he just wants to escape to the stars and leave humanity to its fate. That’s disappointing.
Also, Quinn has some awfully corny dialogue.
