Block is a simple CleanerBot, built to scrub floors and dust furniture. But when the AI Uprising turns machines against humans, he's driven out of his city and onto the road. All he wants is a new hotel to call home.

Then he finds an abandoned infant.

Nothing in his programming tells him to protect her. He does it anyway.

Together they cross a thousand miles, dodging scavengers, SoldierBots, and Combat Mechs. They meet Nova, a rebellious soldier who accompanies them—for a price.

Their deadliest threat is a cyborg bounty hunter who'll stop at nothing to claim the child. Block doesn't know why she’s so important. He only knows he won't let them take her.

STEEL GUARDIAN is the first book in the complete 6-book Rusted Wasteland series. A heartwarming, action-packed hopepunk tale of friendship, found family, and a robot who discovers that gentleness is the strength that matters most.
