Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Unmanned weaponized drones already exist—they’re widely used by America in its war efforts in the Middle East. In Kill Decision, bestselling author Daniel Suarez of Daemon duology fame takes that fact and the real science behind it one step further, with frightening results.Linda McKinney is a myrmecologist, a scientist who studies the social structure of ants. Her academic career has left her entirely unprepared for the day her sophisticated research is conscripted by unknown forces to help run an unmanned—and, thanks to her research, automated—drone army. 'Odin' is the secretive Special Ops soldier with a unique insight into the faceless enemy who has begun to attack the American homeland with drones programmed to seek, identify, and execute targets without human intervention.Together, McKinney and Odin must slow this advance long enough for the world to recognize its destructive power, because for thousands of years the “kill decision” during battle has remained in the hands of humans—and off-loading that responsibility to machines will bring unintended, possibly irreversible, consequences. But as forces even McKinney and Odin don’t understand begin to gather, and death rains down from above, it may already be too late to save humankind from destruction at the hands of our own technology.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Action Survivor: Linda may be a professor, not a hardened soldier, but she didn't survive years of field work in the African bush by being a wimp, and it shows. | |

Almighty Janitor: Invoked with Odin's unit, who are all non-commissioned officers so that they only answer to military high command rather than civilian authority, allowing them carte blanche to do what has to be done. | |

| Kill Decision / int_808cbaeb | comment |
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Odin tells Linda that, if she thinks drones controlled by the US government are frightening, think about what if they're being used by "North Korea, or Burma, or narco-traffickers, or Dominionists, or AT&T." | |
