Quest for Black Beach - Paperback

by Neil Child (Author)

It is the year 2113 and a series of brightblasts has resulted in four remnant groups vying for survival: the robotia, the roktillia, the pterosauria, and the humanoids.

The robotia represent what is left of the mechanical world. These robots have an incredibly high artificial intelligence and adhere to the codes of conduct as designed in their individual and collective programming.
The roktillia are a mutated blend of mammal and reptile, with unique traits to help them survive both on land and in water.
The pterosauria are large featherless creatures that have the ability to fly. Most of the humanoids have established themselves in close communities along the waterways. Other humanoids have become alienated and are ruthless hunters and scavengers.Two young sailors, Kllay and Buzz, row an old wooden boat, The Snail, along a creek to the sea sanctuary of Black Beach. Along with their companion, Westminster, a member of the robotia, they battle against hostile humanoids, roktillia, pterosauria, and other robotia on their quest to reach Black Beach and reunite with their family.
