Steel: Before prizefighting was outlawed, Steel Kelly was an indestructible heavyweight fighter. Now he's managing a non-living boxer, an obsolete android called "Battling Maxo" and to raise the money to repair Maxo, Steel returns to the ring disguised as an android. His opponent? A brand new B7 model impossible for him to beat--and quite capable of killing him. |

But things aren't as simple as Martin believes they were. The peace he'd hoped to find is no longer there for him--and he finds that his very presence in the past threatens to undermine his own future. |
