Rusthead

Ross MacKenzie

A thrilling sci-fi adventure where one boy must battle against an evil robot empire to save the galaxy from the award-winning Ross MacKenzie.

Kol and Sully are best friends living miserable lives as rustheads – treasure hunters who must search planet Rust's vast desert of scrap for useful odds and ends. But everything changes when the boys stumble upon a long-dormant spaceship hidden deep beneath the junk.

When the ship comes to life and propels them away to deep space, they find out that they are not the only ones on board. A mysterious girl is there too, and she has a mission: free the galaxy from the oppressive rule of the robotic Reaper empire. Before they know it, Kol and Sully are dragged into a galaxy-spanning adventure.
