Would it be the fearless iRobot, unarmed (in more than one way), or the two known as the Dueling Duo, who’ve gone from town to town, challenging lesser robots.

In view of a recent tendency to identify characters in fiction with real people, it seems proper to state that there are no real people in this volume: both the characters and their names are ficticious.

Near a good old-time canteen.
