Publisher's summary
Continue the heartwarming robot sci fi series by award-nominated author Cameron Coral…
A timid robot will risk everything to protect his favorite human in a post-apocalyptic world.
Block, the CleanerBot who risked it all to safeguard a baby girl across the war-torn wastelands, thinks he's finally found a safe haven for Wally. But the humans he's entrusted with her care won't let him visit her, leaving him to follow his cleaning routines and miss her more every day.
Robot Found Family in Danger
When the humans are forced to surrender Wally to militaristic SoldierBots or face extermination, Block will do anything to keep her safe… even if that means aligning with a former enemy, a colossal Mech, and their motley army of renegade robots.
Together, they must face down dangerous SoldierBots, fleets of attack drones, and WarBots that will stop at nothing to claim the child in this action-packed science fiction adventure. Wally holds the key to humanity's survival—or their doom—in this thought-provoking work of speculative fiction.
An Emotional Science Fiction Journey
If you enjoy character-driven science fiction with heart and page-turning action, then you'll love the second book of this post-apocalyptic sci-fi series and its robot protagonist. Block's unwavering dedication to his found family will tug at your heartstrings as he navigates the challenges of a world where the line between man and machine has never been more blurred.
Embark on an emotional science fiction journey like no other with Steel Defender, the sequel to the award-finalist Steel Guardian. This heartwarming science fiction tale of unlikely friendship and robot redemption will keep you on the edge of your seat, rooting for Block and his allies every step of the way.
Steel Defender is the second novel in the Rusted Wasteland complete series about a robot protecting found family amid a human vs. robot war. For fans of Isaac Asimov, Martha Wells, JN Chaney, and Becky Chambers, this is a hope punk sci fi book that is heartwarming and full of futuristic action.

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid—a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.”

I'd been living on the streets for around eight months before I lost count. It wasn't easy, but it was still preferable to what I had to deal with at home. In all that time, unable to trust anyone, I had been alone (I knew from experience that people always failed you). Then one day, while out searching for food, I stumbled upon this mangy dog being attacked. It wasn't a big deal to help him, but then he ended up saving my life which is when I realized there was something special about him: Muttface wasn't a normal dog - he was crazy intelligent.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I enjoyed the story.
I did not like the virtual voice. It was very distracting. Hard to tell between different speaking parts.
