In “Slaves of the Switchboard of Doom” (Tor Books, 2017) we follow the adventures of Dash Kent and Nola Gardner as they try to discover the truth behind the replacement switchboard that’s cost Nola, and all her friends, their jobs.

But of course it’s not so simple as that: otherwise it would be a much shorter book.

They’ve got no idea how this plot has affected the Fraternal League of Robotic Persons, or the Ferriss Moto-Man Company, or even those infernal children from the third floor. And while everyone scrambles to save their jobs - or their freedom - the world’s smallest giant robot is striding toward its destiny. An inch or two at a time.

It’s 21 illustrated chapters of adventure, and it’s available in all of the usual places. Get yours now from:
