A Butt of Heads
Liburu elektroniko honi buruz
He's still there, and now he has a fresh batch of problems to deal with.
First, he must lead a motley crew of adventurers on a quest to capture a baby dragon...
... and then save them from the incensed parent dragons.
Next, the City Guard is desperate to find out what makes him tick... even if it means disassembly with a blunt axe.
And finally, our robot hero must foil an invasion by two foreign navies and prevent five kingdoms from starting an all-out war.
If only those vengeful dragons, gigantic sea serpents and a cadre of drunken dwarves weren't determined to make his life even more difficult!
A Butt of Heads is book two in the Robot vs Dragons trilogy. A Portion of Dragon and Chips is book one, and it must be read first to maximise your enjoyment.
All three books are also available in unabridged audio editions.

Simon Haynes lives in Western Australia, where he divides his time between herding deadly spiders, dodging drop bears, and making up wildly inaccurate sentences like this one.
By day he's an author. By night he's also an author.
He loves wry, dry humour, and his hobbies include daringly inserting the letter U into words where -- in some parts of the world at least -- this simply isn't the done thing.
As for his genre-spanning novels, they include epic fantasy (with robots), scifi comedy (also with robots), middle grade humour (featuring robots AND the wanton use of the letter U), as well as a series of historical mystery novels set in 1870's London. (No, of course there aren't robots in those. He's not completely out of his mind.)
When he's not writing Simon is usually renovating his house, sim-racing online, using twitter (@spacejock), gardening, tweaking his book covers, pondering the meaning of the universe and reading, and if you think it's easy doing all that at the same time you should see what he can do with a mug of coffee, a banana and a large bag of salt.
When he's not making outlandish claims he likes to count how many novels he's written, and how many genres he's written them in. (Lots and too many.)
