Dustwalker

By: Tiffany Roberts

Narrated by: Theodore Zephyr, Madison Mitts

A robot searching for purpose. A woman who brings him to life. Can they learn to love in a broken world?

With his core programming lost to time, Ronin has wandered the Dust for nearly two centuries. Out in that unforgiving wasteland, his armored undercasing, advanced optics, and amped-up processors give him an advantage over other scavengers. He’s resigned himself to this unending trek until one night—until one human—makes him question everything.

Lara Brooks and her sister have spent their lives struggling to survive under the tyrannical rule of Cheyenne’s robotic master, Warlord. But when her sister goes missing, Lara has no one to turn to, no one willing to help her. She’s utterly alone. Her only hope comes from a bot she catches spying on her.

Ronin agrees to protect Lara and find her sister. All she must do in return is dance for him.

The transaction should be simple. Lara’s danced for bots before. Yet the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes for her to see him as nothing but a collection of circuits and machinery.

And Ronin soon finds it difficult to deny what shouldn’t be possible…She makes him feel.

But if Ronin defies Cheyenne’s rules to pursue his growing desires, he risks exposing Lara to a danger far greater than any found in the unforgiving wasteland—Warlord’s wrath.

Such a surprise

This book is a gem. I loved everything about it. Great world building, great story, great characters, great narration. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this book. Coming back to review after I have read/listened to 12 more books. I read/listen so much that so many good stories blend together. This one really stands out as memorable. Beautifully done.

Sobbing at the laundromat

Jeez I should have read the warnings before listening to the epilogue as I started ugly crying while doing laundry. I got used to the female VA’s weird Irish lilt meets American accent after initially being put off. I did forward through a couple parts but listened to almost all of it and found such a beautiful love story. I’m glad I gave it a chance even though I wasn’t prepared for all these emotions!

Beautiful

Phenomenal. Absolutely perfect. Loved the narrators. Loved the story line. Loved it all. Just perfect

How love conquers all!

This was a beautiful story. The ending was beautiful but sad. This story shows that whoever is your enemy, love can show that nothing can stand in the way of eachother!

Amazing!

Loved everything about this book. Beautifully written and the duet narration was exceptional. Highly recommend it.
