Survival in the Robot Dawn is 100% suitable for all ages. It's an adventure story with a wicked sense of humor. It's got SciFi elements, but if you hate SciFi, you'll still love this. It's got romance and, guess what, if you hate romance you'll still like it. Read the first thousand word preview for free. You'll get hooked - I promise.
Humanity is amazed when a space ship crewed only by robots lands on earth. At first, the robots and humans coexist peaceably, but then the robots decide that there are far too many humans.
Soon, only small numbers of people are left to offer the robots the unpredictable stimulation that only humans can provide.
Lucy and Leo have been loners their whole lives, but now they are survivors - and both are owned by robots. The only thing they have in common is their hatred of their robot masters, so they work together to escape and flee to the one place on earth robots can't go.
Along the way, they meet an amazing cast of characters and experience exciting adventures along with heart breaking losses - while they learn to trust and even love each other.
And the ending? No spoilers, but it's intense.

Review

BRAVO...BRAVO... BRAVO... standing ovation for the innovation and imagination...this book is seriously an example of what true creativity is. Not a cookie cutter idea but so many layers and levels to pull your interest and keep your mind jiggling several things at once, and so thought provoking! Well written, deep, complex and a must read - Kimberly-Aisha Hashmi

From the Author

Love in the Robot Dawn is the first of my Robot Dawn series, though this is a complete story in and of itself. I purposely tried to write this so that a fifteen year old would be enthralled and a fifty year old would also get caught up in the story.

At it's most basic, it's a story of two people who had their futures taken away from them so that they grew up in a world without normal support from other humans. After living alone for years, Lucy and Leo are driven to action as twenty-year-olds when their robot masters try to force them to be together.

But they have something else in mind - escape and a dangerous 1200 mile trip to the only place on earth safe from robots.

Intrigued by the challenge

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2018

The author's challenge to read the first 1,000 words, and I did get sucked in. But this book delivered. The typos were there, but minimal, and the writing style was fluid and easy to get through. I stole as many moments as I could get away with to finish this book once I started reading it, and if I could have, I would have read it straight through without stopping. The two main characters, Leonard and Lucy, are believable and sympathetic. The robots are interesting and alien in a way they should be, and the other characters that the couple meet along the way are also believable. There is just enough trouble for the two to deal with but not so much that you say "Oh come on! How are they going to escape this?' I did not feel that the book trailed off at all at the end. I think it ended strongly and was quite pleased. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

A Sweet Love Story with a Lovable Protagonist

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2017

I think the only reason I cannot leave a higher review is because of issues of taste. The only real problems with the writing were a few things repeated here and there, but it was useful most of the time. I am not personally a huge fan of romance or a narrative voice and this book had both but it was done very well. The romance wasn't "Icky" and the main character was a sweet, awkward, thoughtful boy who was a delight to follow through the story. There was a lot of slow build with a few moments of really solid action and some great twists. The opening chapters are amazing and trust me, they will get you hooked. The ending was great and I loved the twist and the emotion. Overall, a great read but make sure you don't go into it expecting the terminator. It is a bit more of a steady build as far as pacing goes.

Why isn't this a movie?

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2019

This story was better than what I was expecting. The world is taken over by robots from outer space. Most of humanity is wiped out. The few that are left are pets.

The story doesn't end there. It follows two humans thrown together to "mate" and make more human pets.( Kind of like we do with dogs) they escape together. There is where the story takes a turn from the usual robot story.

It definitely had some surprises that made the story enjoyable. Some scenes were creepy and some were sad. Over all it was a great story.

Is this the future to which we are headed?

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

I seldom get involved in a storyline that isn't wrapped up in one book. However, I took a chance on this one - and am very glad that I did!

There is little that I can add to what other reviewers have already stated. Once begun, it is difficult to put this book down. Just when you think you know where the story is headed: ZIP! Off it goes, in a completely different direction. The characters are believable - as is the plot. It actually makes me wonder if this isn't the future that awaits us!

Finally - Kudos to Mr. Crowe for NOT relying on foul language and sexual content to sell his story!!!

I enjoyed this story and hope to read more from this author. An interesting adventure and happy there wasn't detailed sex scenes or cursing. I think anyone who likes action or dystopian stories would like this book. It was a believable mix of people they ran into on their journey.

A Future World of hope

The writer handles all the elements of this book in a very clever and original way. I enjoyed reading this story and commend the author for such a well written and fast read. The characters are certainly believable and interesting with a story line about robots invading our world.

My first read from author C.W. Crowe. I’d received an ARC of Betrayal in the Robot Dawn and, not liking jumping into the middle of something, went out and got this book to read first. An entertaining and exciting read that I enjoyed. I’ll definitely read more from C.W. Crowe!

This is the first book I read about robots. Not usually my style, but it was a nice change of pace.
The writing felt simple, but it was entertaining enough to finish.

I received an advance review copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest but voluntary review.
I'm not one to usually read books with "Love" in the title. Cuz I knew they are in the sappy romance genre that I so strictly avoid. (Then I read a book with "Fifty" in the title that had nothing to do with math - I've since changed my stance on judging a book by its title. Or cover. Or anything other than the book really).
I am usually a sucker for books with "Robot" in the title, cuz duh - Sci-Fi. Best Genre ever. (Then again, a book with "Dragon" in the title turned out not to be about dragons at all, and instead involved a maniacal hacker. Like I said, I've changed.)
So this books straddles both the sappy romance and sci-fi genres - while actually favouring one over the other for the most of the book, it's still both genres, although Imma say it's been true to the major genre overall.
It starts off with a young man finding himself in an unusual world. And being joined by a young lady makes it all the more unusual for him. It's a story of these characters finding themselves - and the solutions to a host of other issues. It's about meeting ordinary people in extraordinary times and finding solace in their everyday stories. It's about learning to whistle. And ride a bike.
It's not a life changing book. But it puts a lot of things into perspective and gives us reason to feel better about our abysmally one-track days.
Curt's done a good job through the book, taking us on a roller coaster ride alongside his characters. He's got potential, that's for sure. I'm betting on him.
