MEK Robot War by Harry McGeough Book Summary

MEK is a story about the far future... Far into the distant future mankind has moved into the stars. Only he has left his body behind him. The universe is populated by machines. Thinking machines, MEK. And the ghost in those machines is man.

Commander Tom Black is part of a new breed of hero who commands the Dark Clan MEK Fleet. He wants to save the world. So it can be a fit place to bring up the children he wants to have with the lovely Russian beauty Natalia Andropov.

It happened gradually but peoples minds where copied into computers. When the end of the world came the people disappeared because they could not survive in the new world but the machines lived on and conquered new worlds.

They went to Mars, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter. They didn’t stop there they left in vast armada’s for different solar systems. The machines could live forever all they needed to do was replace their parts when they wore out.

Outside the Earth are worlds run by machines. The machines are run by people who have long since died. They live on in virtual worlds where they have bodies and go about their business as if nothing has changed. The virtual world is the world of the late twentieth century.

The MEK clans have territories.

Dark Clan - are dark heat resistant robots from Mercury. They have fleets of dark strong shielded battle cruisers. It trades in advanced weapons and technologies.

Green Clan - green chemical resistant robots that can survive on the planet Venus. The planet has vast cities carved into mountains. Venus has large chemical corporations and mining companies.

Blue Clan - the home world the weakest clan as the world has been almost mined out. The surface still has vast polluted oceans, deserts and is in the middle of an ice age. The forests and jungles are gone. Some of the main cities still survive.

Red Clan - the red planet. Mars was the first planet to be colonized and is the richest and most war like of all the clans.

Gold Clan - the gas mining clans of Jupiter. The clans live in vast floating cities and

on the Jupiter moons of Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.

White Clan - control Saturn the ring planet and its moons. This has proved to be a very lucrative location as it contains precious metals and diamonds. They also control Neptune and Uranus. Battle hardened robots able to survive in the freezing temperatures of the out planets.

Exploration is still going on in the outer reaches. Several interstellar ships have been sent out, but nothing has been heard from them. So most of the fighting is for control of the solar system.

Man has lost it’s humanity but has one last chance to get it back. The Dark Clan has perfected human cloning and want to rebuild the Earth. They want to replant the Forrest's and jungles, re-freeze the polar ice caps, clean up the air. Make the Earth a place where people can live again.

The other Clan’s are against this plan. They want to explore the galaxy. The Dark Clan go to War with the other Clans and so begins the MEK Robot War.
