​Foreward INDIES Book of the Year Finalist, 2018.

Comically absurd and painfully real, DELIVER US is a prescient and provocative literary novel that moves swiftly through near-future Detroit as a black social-media activist leads a campaign against Amazon, whose new fleet of delivery drones offers rebirth to the blighted city while threatening to magnify existing racial inequalities. ​​​

When retiree Luther Prince shoots down an Amazon delivery drone flying over his modest home in eastside Detroit, he gets slapped with criminal charges, and his granddaughter Piper takes to social media to campaign against the Seattlebased tech-giant, whose deal with the city and the FAA has given them two months to demonstrate the safety of their new drone delivery program. But are they saviors bringing jobs to the blighted city, or imperialists out for their own gain at the expense of Detroit’s mostly black population?

That's the question DELIVER US swirls around in an absurd and highstakes marketing battle for the soul of Detroit. With a wild style and a serious soul, this charming and challenging novel disentangles our historical inequalities and explores the pitfalls and opportunities of the future.

Praise for Deliver Us

"Deliver Us is a wild, funny, ridiculous and yet deeply serious novel that imagines a near future in which class, commerce, race, technology, and our ever evolving social politics intersect, and explode. Christopher Robinson and Gavin Kovite are always inventive, always captivating, and always deeply attuned to the strangeness and the beauty of our often dysfunctional culture." 
          — Phil Klay, National Book Award Winner, author of Redeployment, Missionaries

"A captivating coming-of-age novel that is, by turns, funny, and sad, and elegiac."
