About this audiobook
A loyal robot and a determined rebel will risk everything to save tomorrow.
In post-apocalyptic Chicago, Nova leads a fractured human resistance. The AI stronghold tightens its grip. To reclaim the city, she must confront old wounds—and lead a daring infiltration.
Across the ruined Midwest, Block shelters on a farm with a fragile miracle: a dozen rescued children. Then the Rovers arrive—cyborg dogs engineered to track and terminate. With his crew of misfit robots, Block fights to keep the children alive… even as one Rover begins to question her code.
Action-packed, character-driven post-apocalyptic science fiction
If you love robot protagonists, found family, and page-turning sci-fi action, begin Book Five of the complete Rusted Wasteland series. Nova’s courage and Block’s devotion blur the line between man and machine in a human vs. robot war where every choice matters.
This hope-punk tale of unlikely allies and robot redemption will keep you reading late into the night.
