Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A gentle robot will break every rule to save a baby girl.

Block, a CleanerBot who safeguarded a baby across the wastelands, finds Wally a refuge. But the humans who shelter her forbid him from visiting. He returns to his cleaning loops. He misses her every day.

Robot found family in danger

When the humans are forced to surrender Wally to the SoldierBots, Block will do anything to protect her … even if that means allying with a former enemy, a towering Mech, and a ragtag crew of renegade robots.

They must face SoldierBots, attack drones, and WarBots that will stop at nothing to claim the child in this action-packed science fiction adventure. Wally may hold the key to humanity’s future—or its end.

An emotional, hope-punk science fiction journey

If you enjoy robot protagonists, high stakes, and page-turning sci-fi action, start Book Two of the Rusted Wasteland complete series. Block’s unwavering loyalty to his found family blurs the line between man and machine—and will tug at your heart.

Steel Defender is the sequel to the award-finalist Steel Guardian—a heartfelt tale of unlikely friendship and robot redemption that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

better than book 1

Steel Defender
By Cameron Coral
This book was even better than book one. The journey continues, and so does the danger and suspense. Some secrets are exposed, and Block, the faithful robot, must keep it secret to protect his human charge.
New groups are encountered, and old enemies too. Enjoyed this tremendously.

Not a fan of the Automated reading

Liked the story, short but good, I’m in second book , I feel like the automated thing isn’t working for me. Seemed fine at first but as it went on I stopped listening. Want to return

Syfy Series - The World of AI

And the story continues - This future sci-fi road trip series by Cameron Coral - Rusted Wasteland (6 book series) - is worth the purchase, both Kindle and Audible, regardless that after book 1, the rest are virtual voice. This series is during the war between humans and AI intelligent beings. The characters are relatable, and the journey of the AI 'friendlies' and humans in an environment hostile to either or wherever they go in an aggressive apocalyptic war setting keeps the listener/reader engaged, especially when both groups are wanting the same thing - a safe place and peace to coexist, well some of them do. Entertaining and if you enjoyed Metal Chest (Chris Yee) and Day Zero & Sea of Rust (C. Robert Cargill), then Rusted Wasteland is must also.

Virtual Voice

The virtual voice drove me nuts but the story is great, a good lesson for not lying. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Block is my new favorite robot.

Thoroughly enjoying the series so far, and eager to follow Block into book 3. The use of Virtual Voice for narration feels oddly appropriate for the story!

Love the story, hate the inhan narration.

I would love to keep listening to this series, because I love the characters and the story. I will not, however, because the narration stinks without a real voice actor reading it.

great story

it was very difficult to listen to the narration. it was great story but awful narration

Great story!

I love the rusted wasteland story line. I love the premise and the characters. I just wasn't fond of the AI narration, even though I appreciate the irony.

No voice actor,… just terrible AI Virtual Voice

Steel Guardian was narrated by Tristan Wright. She did a great job!! I loved how she used different voices for different characters and her intonation.
This book, Steel Defender, has AI Virtual Voice that is just god awful!!! It all monotone, has no intonation, it just drones on and on.
I am half way through it and WILL NOT be buying the other books in the series as they, too, are read by AI Virtual Voices.

ai narrator is terrible.

narration became unbearable, i think the story is probably ok, might try it in print later.
