Adventures Of: Billy Bolts: The Gears Of Fate

He was just a 13-year-old tinkerer with a garage full of broken bots-until he found the message that changed everything.

In the industrial outskirts of Biome Synthesis, Billy Bolts spends his nights rebuilding forgotten droids and dreaming of a father he never knew. But everything changes when he uncovers a hidden message inside a rusted robot-a message from his missing father, Melvin Applebaum, a legendary robotics engineer who vanished after winning Zoltar's Combat Robotics Tournament.

Now Billy is thrust into a high-stakes adventure that will test his genius, his courage, and his heart. With the help of his fierce best friend Cristen, a surprising ally in former bully Relson, and a quirky drone named Zippy, Billy embarks on a journey through scrapyards, hidden cave systems, and mysterious tech cults to uncover the truth.

To save his father, Billy must do the impossible: build an 30-foot combat robot, enter the world's most dangerous tournament, and face off against elite war machines-while being hunted by the same man who took his father.

Robots will clash. Secrets will be revealed. And a boy will discover the legacy written in his circuits... and his soul.

If you love high-tech adventures, robot battles, found family, and coming-of-age stories with heart, you'll love Billy Bolts and the Gears of Fate.
