The Cost: A story of Josh & Argos

In a world that’s broken, all he has left is a memory… and a desperate plan.

Fourteen-year-old Josh Hartlove is alone. After untreated pneumonia takes his mother, he is left with nothing but his grief and a final, dangerous hope: to reach his uncle’s survivalist cabin, miles away through the ruins of a fractured America.

His journey leads him to an abandoned garage, where he discovers a deactivated military robot—a lethal relic of the wars that tore the country apart. With nothing but his wits and his trusty laptop, Josh dares to reactivate it.

But nothing comes for free, and to keep his new prize, Josh will have to pay a painful price.
