About this listen

Walk. Scavenge. Destroy. Trade. A simple cycle that's suited Ronin for 185 years. With no clear grasp of his programming, the barren wasteland known as The Dust offers him purpose, a place where his armored undercasing, amped-up processors, and advanced optics can be put to use. The ramshackle towns on the edges of the waste serve merely as resupply stations between increasingly long treks. But one night - one human woman - makes him question everything.

Lara Brooks struggles to survive under the strict rules imposed by the bots in Cheyenne. With her sister missing, she's been on her own for weeks and fears the worst. Her only hope comes from Ronin, a bot she catches spying on her. He promises to provide for Lara and search for her sister. All she has to do is dance. It should be easy; she's done it before. But the longer she spends with Ronin, the harder it is to see him as just another bot.

In a city where humans are relegated to live in squalor, Ronin discovers a threat greater than any in the Dust - Warlord, Cheyenne's tyrannical leader. When Ronin ignores the rules, he unwittingly puts Lara in danger. Warlord is as intolerant of disrespect as he is of mankind.

Contains mature themes.

Touching AI story

This book was amazing. It had a little of everything. It might seem farfetched that robots and humans can have intimate relationships but the author did an excellent job of it.

Great Story, female narration - not so much

I enjoyed the story. Surprisingly, it was thought-provoking. The female lead was quite annoying at first but redeemed herself. I didn't expect that from an "escape" novel. Ryan Turner does a decent job with female characters. Sadly, can't say the same about Hollie Jackson. She would be better served narrating textbooks. Her male characters have only one tone and well...it sucks. Her female narration is marginally better. She has a monotone voice for everything other than the main female vocal. And, even then it was not very good.

Oddly Entertaining

I enjoy an occasional dystopian romance. Dustwalker was cute and entertaining but it needs a professional proofreader because there were a lot of unimportant contradictions that just needed some word exchanges.
Okay sex but c’mon… he’s a AI, a machine! That just screams the right to take it to higher levels of imagination! So it fell short of its potential.
Loved the male narration, liked the female narration well enough.

Well, I have never had a book send me into an emotional happy-sad mess and fear of robotic AI in the same breath.

I haven't finished this yet but wanted to make sure that who ever else wanders over a review to determine a read or not... this is a definite read, or listen! Have a box of tissue, if you are sensitive and a pen and paper to make your apocalyptic survival list.

OMG - the Ending had me Sobbing

I found this book becuase I listened to something else Hollie Jackson narrated (Ice Planet Barbarians) and loved her as a narrator. I almost didn't get this book becuase of the length but am so glad I did. I was up until 1 am listening on Saturday night and finally had to go to bed, only to wake up at 5am and immediately put my headphones back on while laying in bed so I could finish the story. Hollie does an amazing job bringing the characters to live without being overly dramatic or sounding like she's reading. But combine that with this story and I was sucked in immediately. There were a few story flaws I didn't get but that didn't stop me from enjoying the book. Wish they would explain why robots were programmed with desire and sexual need. That was just there but puzzled me. Other than that - I think I'm keeping this one to listen to again.

Great book

I typically don't like dystopian books but this author duo does a great job. The love story is great! The H and h both have good character development and you can see/ feel how both of them change as they help eachother grow and inevitably fall in love. The only complaint I have is the number of times the word optics was used ;).

Bots Need Love Too!

Wow! This book was so much more than I had initially expected it would turn out to be! The narration was amazing. The story, though, had me ignoring daily tasks and losing a night of sleep because I simply HAD TO KNOW what happened next. Very believable and inspiring characters. A great story for sure! Wish this was a series!
