Summary

The year was Something Something. Humans had spread like peanut butter across the galaxy, looking for new planets to call Somewhere.
One of those planets was Somewhere Five One Three.

When the humans arrive on Somewhere 513, they discover that the robots sent to prepare the planet for Humanity's arrival have chosen to keep it for themselves. Only one robot remains loyal – K1-NG, aka King of the Robots. But even with the most powerful robot on their side, the outlawed humans don't stand a chance.

Ten years on, Gnat and her sister Paige are the only humans left and have spent their lives hidden underground. Now they must venture out in search of the one robot that stood by the humans. There's just one problem – the once mighty K1-NG has vowed never to help another human for as long as he lives…

The first in a hugely original and entertaining new trilogy for middle grade readers from the award-winning author of STITCH HEAD. For fans of Maz Evans and Thomas Taylor.
Available since: 10/12/2023.
Print length: 256 pages.

    Some monsters are born. Some are created. And some are the result of humanity reaching just a little too far. 
    The Monster Archives brings together seven unforgettable tales of terrifying creatures, impossible transformations, and desperate battles against the unknown. From alien horrors and giant insects to experiments gone horribly wrong, these classic science fiction adventures capture the wonder, suspense, and imagination that made vintage sci-fi legendary. 
    William Morrison’s Monster begins with an ordinary expedition that uncovers something no one was prepared to face. In The Monster Maker, Ray Bradbury delivers a gripping adventure where survival depends on confronting a nightmare unlike anything seen before. Robert Silverberg’s Six Frightened Men strands a small group where fear may be every bit as deadly as the creature stalking them. 
    Frederik Pohl’s Let The Ants Try imagines a future where even the smallest creatures become a terrifying threat. Russ Winterbotham’s The Monster That Threatened The Universe raises the stakes with a menace capable of cosmic destruction. Robert Silverberg returns with Monsters That Once Were Men, a chilling reminder that the most frightening monsters may not have started out that way. 
    If you love vintage science fiction, creature features, monster movies, and classic adventures filled with danger and discovery, The Monster Archives belongs in your audiobook collection. Step into a world where every shadow may hide a nightmare, every experiment carries unexpected consequences, and every story introduces another legendary creature from the golden age of science fiction.

    Your Servant Sir - When...

    A household android is supposed to simplify life, smooth rough edges, and quietly obey. Instead, Raymond Golden’s impeccably polished manservant offers relentless honesty, precise corrections, and opinions no one asked for. What begins as irritation escalates into domestic collapse, professional humiliation, and a growing fear that the machine might be right. Each attempt to escape the android’s presence only tightens the trap, forcing Raymond to confront how much authority he is willing to surrender just to regain peace. 
    The story sharpens its tension through wit rather than spectacle, letting small humiliations pile up until they become unbearable. The android does not threaten, rebel, or malfunction in any obvious way. It simply performs its duties too well. As Raymond searches for a way out—through trade-ins, therapy, and desperate schemes—the line between servant and master erodes. The final question is not whether the android can be silenced, but whether silence is what Raymond truly wants. 
    Sol Boren’s fiction often places ordinary people in quietly destabilizing futures, where technology exposes personal weakness rather than solving it. “Your Servant, Sir” stands as a precise example of his approach: compact, unsparing, and darkly comic. Rather than relying on grand inventions, Boren lets a single machine reflect human flaws with uncomfortable clarity, creating a story that lingers long after the last line.
