Enjoy this found family robot sci fi series starter by award-nominated author Cameron Coral…
A timid robot protects an abandoned baby in a post-apocalyptic world.
The AI Uprising destroys society. Machines turn against humans. The military SoldierBots have one function—seek and destroy.
Block is a simple CleanerBot programmed to scrub floors and serve hotel guests. Forced to leave his city, he must avoid dangerous SoldierBots and find a new hotel he can call home.
Found Family
When Block discovers a human infant, his surprise attachment to the girl compels him to protect her.
Together, they road trip across the dystopian wastelands of America to a safe haven. Along the way, they encounter Nova, a rebellious soldier who becomes an unlikely ally. The unlikely friends must tackle the biggest challenge of their lives in this heartwarming science fiction tale of friendship and robot redemption.
They face mortal danger from bands of scavengers, militaristic robots, and Combat Mechs as they cross the post-apoc landscape. But their greatest threat is a cyborg Bounty Hunter who will stop at nothing to find Block and the child—an infant who holds the key to humanity's future.

"It's very rare when my connection with a character is instant, but I adored Block from the very start. He has such a clear distinct voice that hooked on my heartstrings. The plot is just breakneck speed… I absolutely adored this book." –Weather Wax Report
"The lovable CleanerBot was a joy to follow through the story as it learned to care for its newfound charge and find it a person it deemed worthy to be its guardian. The world was well made, the other characters unique, and the plot interesting... A must read if you enjoy stories about lovable robots facing mortal danger!" –FANTASY-FACTION
Customer Reviews
Enjoyable Read
Not too detailed about the war, but instead concentrated on the relationship, of Block, Nova, and Wally. It was a good journey but I was disappointed at the end of the book as it was just a cliff hanger for the next book. I don’t mind continuing the story in the next book but would have liked a cleaner ending. The relationship ship between Block and Mr Wallace was very endearing.
