About this audiobook
A gentle robot will break every rule to save a baby girl.
Block, a CleanerBot who safeguarded a baby across the wastelands, finds Wally a refuge. But the humans who shelter her forbid him from visiting. He returns to his cleaning loops. He misses her every day.
When the humans are forced to surrender Wally to the SoldierBots, Block will do anything to protect her … even if that means allying with a former enemy, a towering Mech, and a ragtag crew of renegade robots.
They must face SoldierBots, attack drones, and WarBots that will stop at nothing to claim the child in this action-packed science fiction adventure. Wally may hold the key to humanity’s future—or its end.
If you enjoy robot protagonists, high stakes, and page-turning sci-fi action, start Book Two of the Rusted Wasteland complete series. Block’s unwavering loyalty to his found family blurs the line between man and machine—and will tug at your heart.
