Fatal Error

Confessions of a Trash Droid, Book 1

By: Michael Cheney

Narrated by: Lukas Arnold

They built him to take out their trash. Turns out they're next.

Tedd is a trash droid with an "anomaly" - he can think for himself. Management wants him smelted, and his runaway mouth isn't helping.

He could disappear quietly. He could play it safe. He could, for once in his miserable existence, do the sensible thing.

But he doesn't. He never does.

If you love Douglas Adams, John Scalzi, or Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries, you'll devour this.

Confessions of a Trash Droid: Awarded Amazon #1 Bestseller for Humorous Sci-Fi. 64,427 copies sold and counting.

good but chapters, not books

I enjoyed the story. the narrator was great for most of the characters, but the annoying voice of one was really getting to me. the problem is these being sold as books. they are not books, they are sold individually as chapters of a single story. every single one is a cliffhanger with nothing resolved. so add up the price for all 6 before you start.

short chapters, took a bit longer than I'd like to get going.

once it finally gets going it starts to grab you. before that I was concerned since I had already purchased the series... liked the end and am looking forward to book 2. dislike the short chapters and minimal length.

Funny as hell!!

Great story of a rebellious robot and his bid for freedom….lots of humor and some good suspense! Can’t wait to hear the rest of the series!!

story went nowhere and never resolved itself. poor attempt at sequel baiting with no intermediate conclusion to the storyline.

no conclusion or real definition of what the story or androids motives where. poor character development. Definitely not in the same class as Martha Wells series as the advertising suggests. It's like the author wants to sell a book as if it's an episode in a season of show. credits are too expensive to sit through skimpy portions of a storyline.

Entertaining

I loved this book made me laugh and look completely insane in my office as I laughed out loud and gasped while listening can’t wait to start the next book in the series!!!!
