Father is Definitely Still Alive
(2026)(The fourth book in the Toolbert is Here to Help series)
A novel by Morgan Quaid
Delivered an alien baby. Lost two more fingers. Fought a megalomaniacal hamster in a giant mech suit. Worst. Field. Trip. Ever.
Toolbert thought that managing a human body was hard work. But after helping deliver a baby tentacle monster that eats monkey wrenches for breakfast, he’s dragged right into another cosmic mess when an insane enforcer ship demands that Toolbert and his crew find its missing "Father" or face total annihilation.
Their destination is Gargantua Prime, a sacred tomb-world for dead robots where organic visitors are strictly forbidden. Instead of a quiet graveyard, Toolbert finds a wasteland of crazed junk-bots, a petty council of arguing severed robot heads, and an ancient dark force operating from the shadows.
Worse, the mysterious "Father" isn't a terrifying space overlord at all—it’s a disgruntled alien hamster piloting a giant rune-covered death robot!
Now, with the ghost of an ancient robot god downloading unauthorized software patches into his brain, his unionized nanobots demanding hazard pay, and two fewer fingers on his right hand, Toolbert must fake his way through the madness before the crew gets turned into scrap metal.
Genre: Science Fiction
