Plot
Template:Spoiler The year is 2179. The overpopulation of Earth has lead to the colonisation of Mars - with the aid of the "first type" androids, men were able to begin terraforming the unfriendly environment of Mars and build the city of Saint Lowell. Seventy years after the start of colonisation, the city is completed and inhabited by great numbers of people and "second type" robots, much improved versions of the "first types".
The story begins with a space shuttle nearing the destination of Saint Lowell's space port. On board is Ross Sylibus, a middle-aged cop from New York, USA, Earth. Syllibus asked to be transferred to Martian Police Department to escape from his past and haunting memories of his beloved one being murdered by a robot. At the Saint Lowell's space port he is to meet his new partner - a young Naomi Armitage from MPD.
On the same shuttle as Syllibus, travels 'Kelly McCannon - "the last country singer in the Universe". As the shuttle nears the terminal, a mysterious man is seen entering the cargo section; soon after this, the intruder is noticed and the alarms go off.
Later, as Ross finally gets off the shuttle, he witnesses a disturbing scene at the airport. First he gets bumped into by the mysterious man with a big suitcase and two guards. Soon after that, a young woman with a gund orders the men to stop and get their hands up. Puzzled, Ross notices a few drops of blood spilling from the mysterious man's suitdcase. Eventually a shootout between the young woman (who turns out to be Ross's new partner, Armitage) begins. The two rogot guards get killed by Armitage and the mysterious man is wounded, but he manages to escape. However, he leaves his suitcase behind - inside of which is a dead body of Kelly McCannon. To everybody's surprise and horror, McCannon turns out to be a robot - a new, never-seen-before "third type" android, that cannot be told apart from a real human.
Later, the mysterious man hacks into the public TV system and broadcasts the material taped by shuttle's security cameras. The tape shows the man murdering Kelly McCannon and reveals the fact of her being a robot to the entire city. The mysterious man, who introduces himself as Rene D'anclaude, reveals an unbelivable news - the "third types" have benn among the regular people for a long time and nobody can tell them apart from humans. He also reveals alist of "thirds" - it turns out, that a lot of well-known people are actually robots. Riots begin in the city as people start to catch and burn all the "thirds" they can find. Meanwhile, Rene D'anclaude proceeds with extermination of the "thirds". The two main characters start their investigation and eventually find out, that the victims are women... only women.
One of them, just a brief moment before dying, sends out a message with the list of "thirds" to save them from being slaughtered. Armitage receives it and goes her way to stop D'anclaude - and reveal a few secrets in the process.
