He's six-foot-six, made of steel, and legally classified as a dangerous weapon.
Meet Mack Megaton—reformed killer robot, taxi driver, and now… accidental detective.

In The Automatic Detective, A. Lee Martinez blends classic noir with retro-futuristic sci-fi and a whole lot of punchy, hilarious storytelling. When Mack’s neighbors go missing under suspicious circumstances, he doesn’t wait for the authorities—he charges in, fists first and logic circuits buzzing.

One line that grabs you by the collar?
"Just because I was programmed to destroy humanity doesn’t mean I want to.”

That’s the energy this book brings—fast, gritty, funny, and deeply surprising. Mack isn’t your typical hero. He’s not even technically a person. But the way he navigates Empire City—a grimy, neon-lit sprawl full of mutants, robots, gangsters, and mad scientists—makes him more human than most humans.

The book balances high-octane action with subtle questions about free will, morality, and what it means to change your code. But don’t worry—it’s not preachy. It’s just clever as hell.

Looking for a free pdf download of something that mixes hard-boiled crime with robots and mutant lizards? You’re in luck. The Automatic Detective is available now for free books download on Bookdio—the best place to find genre-bending reads that hit hard and read fast.

This isn’t just sci-fi. It’s smart, slick, and laugh-out-loud sharp. Download it. Fire it up. And enjoy watching a killer robot try to do the right thing—for once.

Just... stay out of his way when he’s mad.
