Three years ago, Earth was conquered by a force of robots from a distant world. They have one rule:

STAY IN YOUR HOMES

Step outside and you get one warning before you're vaporised by a massive robot Sentry, or a crawling Sniper, or a flying Drone. That's if the vast Cube doesn't incinerate you first.

But Sean Flynn is convinced that his father - an RAF pilot who fought in the war - is still alive. And when he and his gang figure out a way to break the robots' curfew, they begin an adventure that will pit them against the might of the ROBOT OVERLORDS.

This fast-paced, thrilling novelisation is based on the hit British film starring Sir Ben Kingsley (IRON MAN THREE), Gillian Anderson (THE X-FILES) and Callan McAuliffe (THE GREAT GATSBY). A perfect companion to the movie, it expands on the story with additional action, characters, and a special peek behind the scenes.

Review:
fun, entertaining read with snappy, realistic dialogue.... a blockbuster pace that will entertain early teens upwards and sci-fi fans alike (Following the Nerd)

Robot Overlords is an easy read, but it's not a light tale. Deliciously scary in all the right places, it's a compelling book. Like all good novelisations, it adds an extra dimension to a story already told in another medium. Recommended, especially if you like giant robot-driven dystopias. (Starburst)

Enjoyable, entertaining, and sometimes surprisingly dark, Robot Overlords is a great read whether you're a young adult, a young-at-heart adult, or even a miserable old man in an adult's body (like me!) (The Cult Den)

Such a cracking story - one which might literally blow your socks off (The Book Plank)

His characters come to life instantly, practically jumping off the page, all you need to know to care about them sketched in a few simple but always well-chosen words (Crime Review)

The Robot Overlords novel by Mark Stay is more fun than a mongoose rave (David Barnett, author of the Gideon Smith novels)
From the Author:
Mark co-wrote the feature film ROBOT OVERLORDS with director Jon Wright. This was selected for the 58th BFI London Film Festival and is due for release in the UK on 27th March 2015. He has also completed the novelisation of ROBOT OVERLORDS, which will be published by Gollancz on 12th February 2015. "Deliciously scary in all the right places, it's a compelling book. Like all good novelisations, it adds an extra dimension to a story already told in another medium. Recommended, especially if you like giant robot-driven dystopias." Starburst Mark's first film script EDDIE'S DEAD was selected for the inaugural Film London Microwave production scheme and having gained a reputation for delivering high quality scripts to tight deadlines, Mark was invited to become a founder member of the TINY TANK collective, a 'brain trust' of writers and directors dedicated to developing commercial and entertaining film.
