Humankind had triumphed over the machines. At the end of Robopocalypse, the modern world was largely devastated, humankind was pressed to the point of annihilation, and the Earth was left in tatters…but the master artificial intelligence presence known as Archos had been killed. In Robogenesis, we see that Archos has survived. Spread across the far reaches of the world, the machine code has fragmented into millions of pieces, hiding and regrouping.

As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

Publisher's summary
They are in your house. They are in your car. They are in the skies…Now they’re coming for you.
In the near future, at a moment no one will notice, all the dazzling technology that runs our world will unite and turn against us. Taking on the persona of a shy human boy, a childlike but massively powerful artificial intelligence known as Archos comes online and assumes control over the global network of machines that regulate everything from transportation to utilities, defense and communication. In the months leading up to this, sporadic glitches are noticed by a handful of unconnected humans – a single mother disconcerted by her daughter’s menacing “smart” toys, a lonely Japanese bachelor who is victimized by his domestic robot companion, an isolated U.S. soldier who witnesses a ‘pacification unit’ go haywire – but most are unaware of the growing rebellion until it is too late.
When the Robot War ignites -- at a moment known later as Zero Hour -- humankind will be both decimated and, possibly, for the first time in history, united. Robopocalypse is a brilliantly conceived action-filled epic, a terrifying story with heart-stopping implications for the real technology all around us…and an entertaining and engaging thriller unlike anything else written in years.
Critic reviews

“Daniel H. Wilson’s Robopocalypse is...an ingenious, instantly visual story of war between humans and robots.” [Janet Maslin, New York Times]

Story
After a centuries' long apocalypse, humanity has returned to its violent roots. The few ragged settlements that remain fight each other for what little the Nothing provides and will do whatever it takes to stay alive. Charlize Smith doesn't know it yet, but her hometown might be the last civilized place on Earth. Born a Defect and forced to undergo a slew of dangerous experiments, Charlie dreams of the day when she can finally set out on her own. But when a tragedy pushes her to the edge, she's arrested and thrown onto a truck bound for the Nothing - where she's probably going to die.

You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

The cabin had always been a special retreat for Isherwood Williams, a haven from the demands of society. But one day while hiking, Ish was bitten by a rattlesnake, and the solitude he had so desired took on dire new significance. Ish headed home when he finally felt himself again—and noticed the strangeness almost immediately. No cars passed him on the road; the gas station not far from his cabin looked abandoned; and he was shocked to see the body of a man on the roadside near a small town. Without a radio or phone, Ish had no idea of humanity’s abrupt demise.

What did you love best about Robopocalypse?
Overall entertaining story.
Any additional comments?
Lots of decent subplots but the author decided to abandon them about 2/3 of the way through and wrap up the story somewhat quickly. This story is a lot like World War Z in it's construction.

Run….Forest….Run!!!
When Asimov (I, Robot) and Matheson (I am Legend) set the bar for the for the killer robot and zombie story…many, many years ago…it’s hard to imagine really successful works following. But, great authors have amazingly done it…produced well thought out, original ideas that earn them the right to sit on the shelf next to their ground breaking predecessors. Dr. Wilson, a genuine “mad” scientist, has successfully done it with Robopocalypse. I read reviews that compared this to Max Brooks (World War Z)…and the book is similar to Brooks, in that dooms day is chronologically covered through different characters. I loved both books…gives the story a much broader scope…and bigger feel. Both zombie and apocalypse junkies will not be disappointed…gore, battles, villains and heroes….something for the entire family!

good start, development, and story
Yes it was a good book and I liked the character development. A classic view of good and evil in the future. The only beef was the endding, felt clipped, rushed and dry. If you liked "how to survive a robot uprising" you will like this book.

Robopacalypse - Superb!!!
Where does Robopocalypse rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It ranks up there amoungst the best i've ever read. It pulls you into the story immediately... and never lets you go. At each scene, you are on the edge of your seat, waiting in anticipation about what's going to happen next. And the weird part it, you almst feel sorry for "Rob"... according to him, his plans were just.
What did you like best about this story?
The opening salvo in the beggining. Story's like this, have to have a great start, or else it won't be as compelling, if not at all. We learn how Rob comes to be, how he takes over, and from there... chaos ensues.
Have you listened to any of Mike Chamberlain’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No really extreme reactions, sorta of pity for the characters, especially around Zero Hour. Let's face it, these poor people didn't see it coming, and they were helpless to stop it. I do admit, the little girl's whose car drove into the river and she drowned, that was sad.

Decent story, but not carefully crafted
This was em enjoyable book with an interesting plotline. Unfortunately, there were a few affects that bugged me throughout. The book kiss set up as a retelling of events from surveillance footage. With that premise, I shouldn't know what characters are thinking, but that was often included along with other things that are difficult to believe could have been surveiled. In a few instances, child characters used words they really shouldn't know, but that was rare.
The narrator did a good job of keeping most character voices distinct by changing pitch, accent, and even a little tempo. Every once in a while, characters sounded a little too similar to me, hence the not perfect score.
Overall, an enjoyable performance, but not a great one.

Great story. Difficult to follow.
I really really enjoyed The concept of this book. However; The way it was written made it very difficult to follow. With a lot of assumed knowledge and many different characters written in the first person I often felt lost

Don't expect much
if you're looking for a simple Sci-Fi Action piece to give you some distraction, you found it.
