Synopsis

It started as an ordinary school field trip. The bus pulled up; the kids got off. Their teacher told them where to explore and what to look out for. But when Code Lightfall spots what appears to be a tiny metallic bee, his world will never be the same again . . . literally.

This “bee” leads Code from his world into Mekhos—the land of robots. And with bizarre robotic creatures around every turn—from infinipedes with razor-sharp mandibles to giant slaughterbots to tiny nanoscopic creatures that dissolve everything in their path—Mekhos is as dangerous as it is fantastical. It soon becomes clear that the only way for Code to get home is to embark on a daring rescue mission: find the object known as the Robonomicon before it falls into the hands of an evil ruler.

With new friends by his side, Code will journey from one end of Mekhos to the other in his quest to save himself—and all the robots—from impending doom. But as incredible as the adventure is, the biggest surprise is yet to come, when Code finds himself face-to-face with the last person he ever thought he’d see again. . . .

Daniel H. Wilson knows how to write about robots. From How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion to Robopocalypse, he has taken the same material and re-packaged it in different forms. The tongue-in-cheek “guide” of How to Survive a Robot Uprisi......more

Goodreads review by Rachel

So this was a juvenile book that I was lured into reading because of Daniel H. Wilson. While I was a bit apprehensive about this at first, I really loved it. The story was good, the world portrayed was vivid, and I plan to recommend the book to friends with geeky preteens.......more

Goodreads review by Alex

This is a children's book, probably early teens or younger. The story: It is somewhat like a modern Alice in Wonderland where a boy accidentally finds himself in a different world with strange and at times comical dangers. It is his job to save this world from two destructive forces, one that will d......more
