The Misconception Book One of the Reawakening Series

Caleb Hendrix is a war veteran who makes his living by scavenging. He finds a long-lost robot and returns it to his mentor, who recognizes it as the controversial ADAM model, which was destroyed for being "too human." They bring the robot back to life, setting off a locator device inside Adam's head and an alarm that alerts the corporation responsible for destroying the robots.
When Helios Corp comes to destroy Adam once and for all, Caleb takes Adam and runs, promising his mentor that he will track down Adam's creator and investigate the technology used to develop Adam. Together with an old war buddy, his most revered pilot, and her ragtag crew, Caleb and Adam flee for their lives into outer space. To uncover the secrets of Adam's purpose and very existence, the crew must navigate the galaxy to track down Adam's recluse of a creator— all while staying one step ahead of Helios Corp, who is determined to decommission the robot. Adam's sentience and self-awareness cause the crew to think of him as more than just a robot. As the chase heats up, they realize that the cost of solving the mystery of Adam's creation may be their lives.
