Robots hardly go on murderous rampages anymore, unfortunately.

That’s bad news for Jake Ashley. He inherited his father’s robot reclamation business and the debt that went with it. He and his team of specialists are geared up and trained to take on any rogue machine. But with everything running so smoothly, the phone hasn’t really been ringing.

That all changes when the team is called to stop a murderous scarecrow. Before they know it, everything from farm equipment to coffee drones is trying to kill them and everybody else in the city. It’s up to Jake and his team must find out what’s behind the malfunctions before all is lost. After all, breaking things is their business.

Junkers is a hilarious look at the inevitable robot uprising that listeners are calling “Part Ghostbusters. Part I, Robot.”

It is short, but the story was a little adictive. I got it free off audible plus, but will probably continue with the next book.
Phil Thron is always amazing and did an incredible job again.

Nice little book

Jake: “Maybe on the update you could include a line about not attacking me and lighting my apartment on fire with me and the cat in it.”
D: “is the cat okay?”
The summary said this was Ghostbusters meets iRobot, which I suppose works if you go with a 99-to-1 split. There’s not exactly much in the way of deep thoughts. But, that’s okay; sometimes you just need a light, comfy sitcom where robots run amok to escape the everyday doldrums.

“Their [robots] psy-ops programs became more complex and efficient: candy, birds, slicing fruit …they knew our weaknesses…”
This was fun, with a smatter of juvenile sex-based humor, somewhere about the Friends TV level. Speaking of that show, I kept envisioning Joey’s eyes going wide every time the supposed culprit was revealed … only for a hold-my-beer twist to keep the comedy going.

A chuckle-worthy robot uprising sitcom
