The Robot's Revenge
Book 123 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy take on a case centered on a robot connected with apparent revenge. The brothers must sort through machines, programming, and the question of who is actually directing the threat, looking for the practical connection among clues that initially seem designed to confuse or frighten them. As the investigation grows more dangerous, teamwork and quick decisions become as important as identifying the person behind the scheme. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys adventure combines robotics mystery with the series’ brisk juvenile-detective formula, using its distinctive premise to give Frank and Joe another fast-moving puzzle.
