After a nuclear attack leaves landscape shrouded in gray clouds of ash, JoJo, an android, and his loyal dog Pickles journey down the ravaged streets to find their human family and piece together the remnants of a dangerous invasion. Rodriguez\u2019s ruminations on humanity and family ties combined with well-sketched apocalyptic landscape make for a deeply emotional read, and his portrayal of the bond between a human and his pet is well rendered. Despite the story\u2019s impressive emotional quotient, it remains an action-packed, high stake adventure, and readers will have hard time putting it away. Gritty and moving, the book explores the question of what it means to be human. This enthralling apocalyptic fiction should earn Rodriguez a wide audience. <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\"><strong>Note: This title is free on Kindle Unlimited.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">JQR <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">By Joey Rodriguez<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B085MM1Q6T\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy now <\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Not Your Platypus <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Pub date March 6, 2020<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">ASIN B085MM1Q6T<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Price $1.88 (USD) Kindle edition<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Original and thoroughly fascinating\u2026 Bizarre and poignant, Rodriguez\u2019s latest tells the story of a boy and his pup who take a horrendous journey to find their human parents after an atomic blast destroys their home.
