    About this ebook

    Two types of creatures, neither quite human, fight each other over a series of years in a post-apocalyptic world. One group wants the whole planet at any costs. The other group, trying to get on with their lives, is forced to fight just to survive. Who will win -- the army with the overwhelming force or the army that keeps changing their tactics in each encounter. Between the battles, the thoughts and feelings of members from both sides are shown. A truly unique sci-fi adventure!

      Welcome traveler. I see that you made the long trip to visit Archive 32. I am Archivist 971, only the third such archivist at this location. Is there a particular topic that you wish to review? Oh the Ghost-Robot War? That is a very interesting story being hundreds of years old. Still, it is lucky that you visited us. Of all the archives that reside on the planet, we have the only collection on the topic. If you go to the viewer to your right, you can read, watch, and listen to uncensored memories, hopes, and dreams of the combatants at the time.

      You want to know a little bit about each group before starting? I am glad to help you with that.

      The ghosts were smaller in number and were very human-like. Yet there were far from human. They roamed the planet forever unless they were destroyed or left this life by some other means. Otherwise, they were stuck in the life that they had. They could materialize for hours at a time. They flew wherever they wanted to go. They were resourceful and could be quite loving with each other. Their weapons were less powerful than the robots, but the ghosts were more flexible in reinventing their tactics.

      The robots were made of some material that was metal-like. Their faces look more like masks with large eyes, a minimal nose, and a small horizontal line for a mouth. They could walk but not fly on their own. To compensate for this, they made massive machines that made them the owners of the sky and the land. In addition, they had the ability to communicate to each other on internal channels. They thought that only their type should exist and would fight to the death to prove it. They loved the cry of battle and using their overwhelming array of weapons. Depending on the moods of the time, the robots enjoyed constantly changing their leadership. They were stymied by opponents that were apparently unpredictable or doing unexpected things. So read away and let me know what you think. I am always available to answer questions of our patrons.

      Ivy

      Hello wonderful world and happy anniversary to me!!!Another GREAT morning and all is well. I am SO awake and thrilled to be in this paradise. No more of those long unwieldy lines to the coffee shop, the music store, the video theater, or the library to read those novels in French. There is no workweek or career to worry about. There are more social relationships to get upset over. It's FANTASTIC having all of this free time!!!

      Dear digital diary let me continue. I do not recall much about my earlier life but at one time, I was a living, breathing human being and followed the course that my social status dictated - school, work, buying stuff, and boyfriends. It just does not seem that I was very happy. However, I was always busy and continuously filled with conflicting emotions and far too much stress. Mostly I felt alone and tired. Then one day, I died somehow while still being very young. Nevertheless, that is all the past.Poof -- it is gone.

      Three joyous short years ago that I took a ghostly form this planet, finding myself in a darling three-story house stocked with anything that one would ever need. I awoke in a charming bed, so blessed with these great looks of a twenty something year old woman and killer body for eternity! Instantly, I knew
