This action-packed novel with giant fighting robots "is exactly the sort of sci-fi we need right now" (Jason M. Hough, New York Times–bestselling author). Django Wexler's Hard Reboot features giant mech arena battles and intergalactic diplomacy. When did academia get to be so complicated? Kas is a junior researcher on a fact-finding mission to old Earth. But when a con-artist tricks her into wagering a large sum of money belonging to her university on the outcome of a manned robot arena battle she becomes drawn into the seedy underworld of old Earth politics and state-sponsored battle-droid prizefights. Is it time to get back to the books, yet? "I can see the speed lines! High-octane, fullhearted, splintered-metal entertainment!" —New York Times–bestselling author Max Gladstone "I came for the giant robots and stayed for THE GIANT FREAKIN' ROBOTS TEARING EACH OTHER TO SHREDS. WITH BLADES." —Sylvain Neuvel, author of The Themis Files
