Axel and Beast

Axel Brayburn is playing video games when a huge robot enters his garage. The robot, Beast, has fled its makers at Grabbem Industries. They want it back, and Axel helps it escape. The pair must use their wits to evade Beast’s evil creators.

This science fiction adventure by Adrian C. Bott is for children. Axel is twelve and lives in a small suburban home. He has sharp reflexes, a quick mind, and strong tech skills. He also knows some judo, but needs thick glasses. He does not yet see how these skills could suit a spy. For now, they help make him a skilled gamer. His meeting with Beast puts those talents to a new test.

Bott is a gamer, writer, and professional adventure creator. He lives with his family in Sussex, England. Illustrator Andy Isaac lives in Melbourne, Australia. Comics sparked his love of drawing at eight. He began making his own characters at that age.
