Zak Corbin: Master of Machines by Tony Russo book review

I had one instructor in college who actually made the Greeks and Romans interesting. I was flat-out wrong. Lots of cool things happened around me. Robert Moses made New York pretty much what it looks like today. People admired him and hated him. He was mean, but he got things done. My spouse hates this. She would rather I sleep. I would rather be writing.

I would love to finally land an agent but I understand that the writing world has tons of authors and just so many things publishers are interested in. This one takes place right after the events of the first book. I had been writing through junior and high school, but I got bit by the acting bug and tried it in college. So this just had to be a good story! A great feat about Zak Corbin: Master of Machines is the where the story takes place. An alternate version of the United States of America. Beginning in Tennessee in , and later taking place in New Futura City, 15 years later.

It is right there in between steampunk and the future-future. In the introducing chapter you get introduced to Dr. Elias Corbin, the uncle of Zak.

Who after quite a stand-off between robots gets imprisoned. After this scene the story skips 15 years to the present and you get to meet up with Zak, his friends and his parents. Zak was nicely put together. He is 15 years old, attending high school, brainy and of course bad with girls. He has two nice friends Odie and Jason. As you see Zak in high school you see that he is being bullied and that he just wants to fit in. Yes, the society in New Futura City, especially among the youngsters is to show-off how great a robot you have.

But past events have meant that Zak is not allowed to have one What I liked about the character of Zak is that he shows that perseverance pays-off, he is a cheery kid who does not let himself be batted out. Even is his attempts do not succeed he is not going to sit and mope, he goes on a new approach and try to get it better next time around.

A great virtue to have. Next is Elias, his uncle, who is in prison. From the beginning you get to know that he attempted and attack on a military facility but not much more. It was quite funny and originally created how Zak and his uncle had communications, they were allowed to write letters to each other but with no leads to robot mechanics. This was circumvented in a ingenious way, just adding a little more sugar to the frosting!
