New series. Mars is changing. Seemingly overnight the once "Red" planet is turning to gray. Something is happening, something unnatural. A team of, literally, rocket scientists figure out a way to send a probe, very fast, to Mars to determine how and why it is changing. However, when the probe is destroyed well short of the formerly red planet, it's apparent that Mars is being used as a staging ground. The only viable target for that staging ground is Earth. Ranging from rocket design to brilliant paranoids to "in your face" fighting in Iraq, Von Neumann Wars is a fast paced look at what would happen if the earth was attacked by a robot race that, quite accidentally, was bent on destroying civilization.

1011250015 In the final days before the Earth and humanity was invaded by billions of swarming, self-replicating, alien robots that were programmed to terraform the entire solar system for their designers and masters, humanity made a bold and brave last stand to prepare for and stop the impending onslaught. An above Top Secret program called Neighborhood Watch was put into place by the United States of America Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community. Spacecraft were constructed in rapid, amazing time and missions were flown to both Mars and the Moon to gather more intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance on the impending threat. This is the Final Report generated by the Top Secret Neighborhood Watch program presented to the President and his advisors. History shows that it was the foresight and ingenious developments of this effort and report that would eventually lead humanity toward its only possible hope for survival against the attack of alien robots that has become known as Von Neumann's War!
