About this ebook
In the future humans must watch what they do and what they say least their robot masters label them as contaminated and dangerous.
Carrie and Joseph Turner have been living and farming their land under the watchful eyes of a robot master race for their entire lives. The mysterious death of Carrie's brother many years ago haunts Carrie as she ages. When Joseph reveals that he had suspected foul play all along, he and Carrie suddenly find themselves unable to remain silently subservient to the robots.
After an escape and chase across the county Joseph Turner finds himself in a long imagined face to face, life and death test of wills with the local Controller.
Control Alt... Revolution is a somewhat brutal look at how a single event at an exact moment in time can completely change the course of a civilization.
Ralph Bougher
Aerospace company shift supervisor who has spent many a late night fighting with one production robot or another. It's time to stop just sitting on these stories of the hard life and the dark of night. Also, carrying around a bunch of detailed info on tool makin and production line machine trouble shootin... It long ago past the point where I take any crap from the machines. Quote me on this... "If you believe there is no edge of the Universe go play at the event horizon of a black hole."

In the town square of a small rural village somewhere in the mid-west of what was once called America... a man’s body lies motionless on the ground. The body lies at the feet of a vaguely regal appearing robot that is droning out an announcement insisting that all citizens in the community come to the square. The pair is flanked on both sides by a couple of rather large military looking robots.

The announcement continues... "We have always worked toward mankind’s advancement and safety; those are our only priorities. However, punishment and removal of dissent must be swift to ensure that these goals can be maintained.

Anyone living in this town or the bordering farmland who is not present here in this square within 50 minutes will be arrested due to suspicion of conspiring..."
Joe lay there, trying not to move too much even though he is in desperate pain from the long battle and from the roughness of the handling by the hover-lifter; some broken ribs no doubt, lots of cuts and bruises, and a nasty bump on his head. "Not bad for an
