Drowned Steel

Robots are walking into the ocean. Nobody knows why.

Block and Wally race to the Oregon coast after a distress call comes from Cybel—robots are marching into the waves, obeying a signal hidden in whale songs. The source: a military weapon buried forty meters beneath the bay.

Cybel can track the weapon's signal, but salvagers loom. Block the CleanerBot struggles to protect the settlement. Only Wally's rewired neural pathways can answer the corrupted song with something the whales—and the robots—can finally hear.
 

Drowned Steel is a hopepunk, post-apocalyptic adventure about found family, misfit robots, and choosing who you become when the old world is gone.

Book 3 in the Robots and Ruins series—robot fiction for adults who want hope with their survival stories. Perfect for fans of Martha Wells, Isaac Asimov, Becky Chambers, and Adrian Tchaikovsky.
