7th Sigma by: Steven Gould


The story of the 7th Sigma takes place in the southwest territory where the people there has to live with out metal or any technology at all. Since about fifty years ago a new life form showed up call the bugs, they are self replicating, solar powered, and metal eating robots. No one in the territory knows where they've come from they just know the bugs can't fly up to a certain height and hates water so that's why they are living in the southwest of the territory. The people in the southwest territory still lives there, but doing it without metal or any technology in general. So without metal they lived in log cabins, used ceramics and plastic to survive in the southwest territory with the bugs and also under the heat.

Kim a boy who is a runaway that escaped to the frontier after leaving his father when he has to go to the cities for medical treatment. Kim was suppose to go along with his father, but instead he when to the streets New Santa Fe, where there he has to live with his wits. Then one day he meets Ruth, an Aikido teacher who is set off to build a new dojo deep in the territory to teach peoples in the territory about Aikido where it can be use to self defense.

After going through a huge process to build the new dojo place in this rough territory, Kim start training with Ruth which he learn both calm and physical skills. That Kim later found to be useful for helping the neighbor from bandits, then he comes in contract with one of the territory Rangers that recognizes him as a runaway. However instead of bring Kim back to his father, he offers Kim to be a undercover agent. As Kim gets older he has become the greatest undercover agent in frontier and he was offered to go to a university to learn more about the bugs. By then he was having a normal live where he have a education and a place to live without going to the city and live with his father.
