Description

"If Foundation and Star Wars had a love child." "This is classic science fiction, a galactic empire space opera!"

Lost at the heart of the Robot Empire
Arla Farmer, reluctant commander of the ark-ship Dawn, is taken to Core - the capital world of the Robot Empire. An artificial mind inhabiting the metal skin of a once natural planet, Core is made up of millions of distinct personalities and not all have the best interests of humanity at heart.
Can Arla discover why Core went to such extraordinary lengths to bring Dawn within its reach? Will the people of the valleys find a new home to settle? And what will happen when the very existence of Core, and all other intelligent minds, is threatened by a mysterious threat that guzzles up entire planets?
Planet of Steel is the third book in the Robot Empire series of galaxy-sized adventures. If you like fast-paced science fiction in the classic mould of Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury and Bear, you'll love Kevin Partner's brand new space adventure.
