Armitage III: Poly-Matrix

In a dystopian future where humanity has begun terraforming Mars, a startling series of murders throws the fragile colony into chaos. The victims are all "Thirds," highly advanced humanoid robots designed to be virtually indistinguishable from humans. As the body count rises, it becomes clear that someone is systematically hunting down these androids, and the implications for human-robot coexistence are dire. Enter Naomi Armitage, a tough, no-nonsense cop with a mysterious past, partnered with Ross Sylibus, a detective haunted by a traumatic incident involving a Third. Together, they must navigate a web of corporate intrigue, government cover-ups, and escalating violence to uncover the truth behind the killings. But as they delve deeper, they'll find that the line between human and machine is far blurrier than anyone imagined, and the conspiracy reaches higher than they could have ever anticipated.
