Fall of the Robots

The Last Human, Book 2

By: Lee Bacon, Chris Danger

Narrated by: Michael Crouch

Robots and humans are finally at peace … for now!

It’s been a few months now since XR_935 met Emma, a human girl who wasn’t supposed to exist. Robots thought they’d eliminated the humans, but some have survived all these years. Now, robots and humans live side by side, and the world is much better for it. They’ve formed a new society, living together as equals.

Even if XR doesn’t always understand humans, it is impressed by their creativity and ingenuity—especially considering all the terrible things that robots did to humans many years ago. But some humans are not so quick to forgive. A group known as the Machine Breakers has emerged. They won’t stop until they’ve destroyed every robot on earth—and any human who stands in their way.

Can XR and Emma stop them? Or could this be the end of the robots—and the world as they know it?

There were no low points! On point in every area. Every emotion on display. I was impressed from the cover art to the ending.

home run

the wit at the robot' s attempt to make sense of our wsy of speaking.

Lovely

Love this one as much as the first. Just a really happy fun tale. Enjoyed all the characters and the plot.

Great Sequal!

I loved the themes of the book, and I loved the characters. There was only one thing that kind of bothered me, and it was a line that said, "Sometimes hope is more important than truth." There is a chance that I'm interpreting it wrong, but I do think hope and truth aren't necessarily disconnected; rather, you hope in what is true. But of course, we don't always know what will happen in the future, so to say, "hope in what is true" is a difficult thing to do. The only example that I can think of is in a Christian context. For example, Christians don't know for certain what will happen in the near future, but according to the Bible, Christians know that Jesus will return a second time. Because of this truth, they can hope for that future.

But other than that, I highly recommend this book and the book before this one called The Last Human.

this book is GIVING

Robots

A nice follow-on. A bit of humor first: A robot walks into a bar. CLANG! In addition the book has a mixture of logic and emotios, danger, cliffhangers, and romance.

OMG WHAT A PLOT TWIST!!!!

Omg!!! Wow!!! Some parts had me frowning, smiling, gasping, clapping, and some parts where super duper… unpredictable! Maybe too much for kids under 9 but c’mon!! Please do get this book! Spoiler: This is a spoiler… Ceeron comes back!

underwhelming

fall of the robots to the last human is like joker 2 is to the original joker, utter ruination. this story is about XR the bot who gets friendzoned by his human Emma, pretty much. no special aspects or philosophy pertaining to actual robots in this book other than buzzer the RC fly spy bot. lee bacon basically wroye robots as humans but called them robots nonetheless. chap 99 has himans protesting in favor of the bots but the book doesn't convey really why, it fails miserably in conveying the uniqueness and potential of robots.
