Publisher Description

Where were you when the delivery drones attacked?

Two sides. A warehouse full of secrets. A delivery that can never be returned.

Carmen Fitznagle is desperate for a job. When an opportunity to join the dwindling team of humans at Zing Warehouse is offered, Carmen leaps at the chance—she's always wanted to work with robots.

The disruptive conglomerate sells everyzing: cat litter, exit signs, and carbonated bidets.

When an unexpected drone delivery causes a media firestorm, Carmen finds herself at the forefront of a revolution in automation, same-hour delivery, and artificial intelligence.

As Carmen settles into her role as a picker-packer, surrounded by robotic arms, conveyor belts, and self-driving vehicles, a surprise from her past leads to a confrontation she never could have imagined.

But what happens when all that cutting-edge technology is returned to sender?

In this workplace thriller, ordinary employees—a woman who always follows the rules, a forklift operator and his protégé, a boss obsessed with automation and gummies, a man desperate to game the system, and a woman who will do anything to cover it up—are thrust into an extraordinary battle of corporate infighting between humans and drones.

It will take the combined courage, enlightenment, and determination of an inexperienced team to survive the world's first delivery drone uprising.

As their time on the clock winds down, Carmen and her fellow Zingers find themselves on the receiving end of a shipment only Zing Warehouse could deliver.
