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.

But 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 and 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.

If you enjoy character-driven science fiction that pulls at your heartstrings and page-turning action, then you'll love the award-finalist first book of this post apoc sci-fi series. Embark on an emotional science fiction adventure like no other with Steel Guardian.

Steel Guardian is the first novel in the Rusted Wasteland complete series about a robot protagonist protecting found family amid a human vs. robot war. For fans of Isaac Asimov, Martha Wells, JN Chaney, and Becky Chambers, this is a hope punk sci fi book that is heartwarming and full of futuristic action.
