*I received this book for free, in exchange for an honest review.*I very rarely read books about robots, but I'm so GLAD I read this book.  I loved it and was sad when it ended.  This is NOT a hard core sci-fi book.  It's a simple, yet well written sci-fi story.  That will capture you and hold your attention till the very end.  This book has everything; action, death, and even LOVE.  Yes, I said love in a robot book!The Government needs robots built to defend a human envoy going to Mars for talks.  Mars and Venus are at odds with each other.  But not everyone is happy about this and makes their anger known.  Dr. Max Center is offered the job to create the robots.  These robots must be highly functioning, so that they protect the envoy/allies, but destroy any threats to those people.  Alpha is created and is unique.  He gets himself into some pretty funny and not so funny situations.The characters were all likeable and well written.  I loved the three robots, they were each amazing and well developed.  As well as Dr. Max and Jo.  Perfect.  It was great seeing how Alpha grew, how he interacted with people and situations.  Meat the antagonist, was always up to something.  I loved the fact that he never gave up trying to prove his point.  It didn't matter what anyone else thought,  but damn it, he was going to make a point.I will admit the ending, made me sad.  I hope it went another way, but I get why it had to be this way.  Kudos for Taylor Hohulin for his first novel!  This is well written story, that opens your eyes to possibilities.
