Love or hate computers, you'll love this story.

When Rudy bought a recycled robot to help his grandmother, he was expecting a home assistant, not a combat android with ninja reflexes and a killer instinct. Doña Nilda sees in her new companion the perfect opportunity to become the most feared vigilante in the area. Between extreme training, debt collectors fleeing in terror, and a flamethrower “standard for night operations,” Grandma and her robot take neighborhood security to a completely illegal level.
It is said that the past determines the present and the present shapes the future. What choices does the future have when today's vision of Utopia is tomorrow's Dystopia? What is the future supposed to do when living in the now is sheer misery? Maybe the future reaches back into the past and tries to correct the most egregious sources of problems.
The plot’s not entirely original, it's based on an old David Drake story, "Rescue Mission," but I hope you enjoy the story all the same. And yep, sorry guys, no sex at all in this one. It’s dystopian military Sci-Fi.
