Junkers

Narrated by: Doug Tisdale Jr.

Length: 4 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's summary

The corporations promised it could never happen.

Of course they would say that. Their products were everywhere. They had turned everything from scarecrows to coffee makers into robots, and there wasn't a home on Earth that wasn't filled with their machines.

The League for the Preservation of Humans said it was inevitable.

It wouldn't be much of a league otherwise. If they gave up their cause, there'd be no need for the rallies, or the fundraisers, or the galas. And who would they feel superior to if they didn't get to lecture everyone?

The people were mostly “meh” about the whole thing.

It was a given that robots occasionally turned into murderous machines. But the odds were against it. And it was worth taking the risk as long as people didn't have to do their own laundry.

But when the machines rebelled, it was the Junkers problem.

Jake and his crew were used to putting down a rogue machine that was out of warranty. But when the entire city started turning on humanity, it was left up to him and his team of misfits to save us all. We're probably screwed.

short but really great

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a robot apocalypse story but quite humorous. The story is funny and full of action. The narration is great, too. My only complaint is that it is far too short. It could easily have been twice as long and not lost any of its umph. Definitely worth checking out.

Long awaited masterpiece finally comes to Audible

Yes, let's get it out of the way first. It's a little short for a full credit. But do you really need another 4-8 hours of filler breaking up the good stuff? Why weigh down a fantastic premise and great story with 60% angst, dark reflection, and descriptions of food.

Nick Cole has already corned the market on making the apocalypse sound like a high school goth's journal. Benjamin Wallace brings back some levity and color to the end of the world as we know it. To listen to it, is to love it.

Now we've got him getting audiobooks published, we can harangue him for longer books later...

Benjamin Wallace does it again!

Benjamin Wallace has done it again. I highly recommend. Great story. Funny and captivating. You’ll love it.

Revenge of the Service Industry robots!

Here we have a humorous romp through the future of smart machines. This is a great change of pace story; fun characters and a quick read. I enjoyed the book thoroughly. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

screen play for an action comedy

good story read like a screen play but narrator could of done better on playing the parts and nit like he was reading to his kid

Unexpectedly Funny from Beginning to End

This book was like listening to stand up comedy wrapped in a sci-fi package! Very entertaining and unique. A perfect book to just escape and enjoy the story and characters. Hoping that this becomes the first of a series . The Audible edition really brought things to life. Just buy it!

Cant believe I flipflopped so long on getting this

Aside from being WAY too short, it may have been the best thing I have listen to for some time.

If it is on sale and you can justify the 4 hour running time get it!

Everything it promised!

Loved the story and the narrator brought all of the characters to life. Very well developed characters.

Funny

and fun! Loved this action packed adventure dispersed with guy humor and Robots! Thanks Benjamin! Love your sense of humor.

Loved the humor!

This was an enjoyable listen. It took me a little to get into it but once I did It was great. What I found most enjoyable was the silliness, humor, and care-free attitude of the main character. I feel like Junkers was a bit light on some details (I really wanted to know more about the world but we got just a tease of it).

Overall, this was a short and light-hearted listen and extremely entertaining. I would definitely be interested in more hearing and/or reading more in this world! (and what happened to the cat? I love that cat!)

Narration was quite enjoyable and I'd happily listen to more narrated by Doug Tisdale Jr.
