Book excerpt: MACHINE AGE: THE ROBOT GRAVEYARD is a futuristic thriller for middle-grade readers, set in a dark and dangerous Washington DC in the year 2028. Twelve-year-old Jane and her parents are just trying to get by in an age where robot workers have taken over so many jobs that normal people struggle every day just to survive... and where the rich and the poor alike live in constant fear of a vicious gang of subhumans known as insombians. Although insombians normally prey on kids Jane's age, the Walsh family is torn apart when Jane's mother disappears in an apparent insombian attack. Jane hates to let any puzzle go unsolved, especially one that's so important, so her first instinct is to find out herself what happened to her mom. But Jane's dad has other ideas. His only concern is to keep Jane safe. That's why he comes home one day with a secondhand robotic nanny that he found on the black market. Jane's nanny robot is called MARY, and when the nannybot starts acting suspiciously, Jane suddenly finds herself with a new puzzle to solve. MACHINE AGE: THE ROBOT GRAVEYARD is the first in a three-part series that follows the adventures of Jane and her best friend Robbie as they try to unravel the mystery of Jane's enigmatic new nannybot. Along the way, they experience the trials and joys of their final year at Rice Underschool: giving bullies their comeuppance, competing on the varsity crossword team against their rich Overschool rivals, studying Early 21st Century History... even trying to figure out the difference between friendship and love. But these struggles and triumphs all happen under the shadow of a sinister conspiracy that is unfolding all around them. As Jane and Robbie discover more about MARY's mysterious past, they are pulled deeper into a web of secrets involving insombians, the US president, and what really happened to Jane's mom. And as they get closer to the truth, the puzzle becomes trickier, and the solution more dangerous.

The men who will seek to alter the status quo will be called "robot lovers" and stoned. But what happens next?), and (11) The Stutterer (A man can be killed by a toy gun-he can die of fright, for heart attacks can kill. What, then, is the deadly thing that must be sealed away, forever locked in buried concrete-a thing or an idea? ).

Download or read book The Ego Machine written by Henry Kuttner and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-07 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a slightly mad robot drunk on AC, wants you to join an experiment in optimum ecology-don't do it! After all, who wants to argue like Disraeli or live like Ivan the Terrible? Henry Kuttner (April 7, 1915-February 4, 1958) was a science fiction author born in Los Angeles, California. As a young man he worked for a literary agency before selling his first story, "The Graveyard Rats," to Weird Tales in 1936. Kuttner was known for his literary prose and worked in close collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore. They met through their association with the "Lovecraft Circle," a group of writers and fans who corresponded with H. P. Lovecraft. Their work together spanned the 1940s and 1950s and most of the work was credited to pseudonyms, mainly Lewis Padgett and Lawrence O'Donnell. Both freely admitted that one reason they worked so much together was because his page rate was higher than hers. In fact, several people have written or said that she wrote three stories which were published under his name. "Clash by Night" and The Portal in the Picture, also known as Beyond Earth's Gates, have both been alleged to have been written by her.
