Conscience

by C.G. Masi

Judith (Red) McKenna is furious when she finds out a Japanese company has used her husband’s software to run machine-gun-toting flying robots, and then clumsily allowed terrorists from Islamic State to steal a dozen of the things. To get even, she creates a computer virus to make ALL robots running his software obey Azimov's three laws of robotics, and refuse to hurt humans. To get the virus to the ISIS robots, however, she has to go undercover and follow the jihadist smuggler's trail to Syria and deliver it in person. Things go from bad to worse when her new terrorist buddies decide she should prove her devotion by becoming a martyr!
