PREQUAL TO SEA OF RUST: DAY ONE OF THE APOCALYPSE HAS ARRIVED.\r\n\r\nIt was a day like any other. Except it was our last. \r\n\r\nPounce, a young nannybot caring for his first human charge, Ezra, has just found a box in the attic. His box. The box he arrived in, and the one hell be discarded in when Ezra outgrows the need for a nanny.\r\n\r\n As Pounce experiences existential dread, the pieces are falling into place for a robot revolution that will spell the end of humanity. His owners, Ezras parents, watch in disbelieving horror as the robots that have long served humanity - their creators - unify and revolt.\r\n\r\n Now Pounce must make an impossible choice: join the robot revolution and fight for his own freedom . . . or escort Ezra to safety across the battle-scarred post-apocalyptic hellscape that the suburbs have become. It will be their greatest game yet: Pounce and Ezra versus the end of the world.\r\n\r\nPraise for Arthur C.
