Hot Pursuit - Shane Rogers

Stamina: you're going to need it.

Welcome to the farcical near future, where our contemporary problems have reached new levels of absurdity: Free will is highly questionable at best; the battling nation is divided between city and frontier, corporations and militants; and the line between war and entertainment has been obliterated by influencers and promoters.

Stamina is loaded with a hilarious and endearing cast of lost and assailed characters: war-weary militants on the run from relentless robot armies; detoxing, mind-controlled exiles from the city; recovering army deserters; Mech-hunting privateers; and sexy media darlings-all converging on the most irascible and pugnacious town in the nation: Wrangleton.

While the jaded and confused newcomers prepare to fight for their lives, something in the air of Wrangleton begins to open their minds and hearts. They emerge from private slumbers, face their demons, and take up the eternal search for meaning, all while putting the hurt on as many robots as they can in some of the wildest battle scenes ever imagined.
