On planet Alania, Alien-Bot wants to make his home world great again by destroying the universe. In the Tiran Galaxy, planet Kidok has vanished after its star went supernova and there have been no signs of survivors because the oppressive Kidokian government employed hackers and spread fake news to fool the public into thinking that the star was healthy and there was no need to evacuate even though it was obvious to most that something was wrong. On Earth, West Plains Mayor Maria Martinez has ignored the pleas of citizens who have fallen on hard times in order to focus her full attention on securing campaign contributions from wealthy donors in order to win her next election.Welcome to the dark new age that Morgan Wallace (a.k.a. "HyperKid") and Brian Bullini (a.k.a. "BullBorg") suddenly find themselves living in. The super heroes, now in fifth grade, are transported through a wormhole that takes them to the Estarna Galaxy, the oldest part of the universe where intelligent life began. Alien-Bot is there waiting for them, but with the help of some tech upgrades from a thousand-year-old Viking and some unexpected allies, the heroes are able to prove their valor against a tyrant who shows no regard for anyone outside his very limited view of the universe.The Cyborg at the End of the Universe combines classic science fiction, fantasy, and comic book super hero themes, and brings the heroes into a dark new age where world leaders are willing to use any means necessary to preserve their own wealth and power without regard to the health of the universe and the people who live in it. The resistance against injustice and intolerance continues here with some contemporary real world twists, and the two young super heroes discover that it is absolutely necessary for beings from all walks of life to work together to fight those who think it is their right to destroy a universe that belongs to everyone in order to save their own little piece of it.

Emerson Daub is a fifth grader who has a healthy interest in cyborgs, super heroes, and video games. His father Richard is a writer and former journalist who likes to watch baseball, eat cheeseburgers, and listen to old guy rock & roll music. While sitting down to write with pen and paper or in front of a keyboard isn't exactly Emerson's favorite activity, he has a wonderful imagination and loves to make up characters and stories. So, once again he and his father have combined their talents to produce The Cyborg at the End of the Universe, the second book in The Adventures of HyperKid series (the first of which is titled HyperKid v BullBorg), and the third book overall they have written together (the other being an illustrated children's book titled Spaulding and Zoom about their family's pet cats). Over a period of two weeks during the summer of 2016, the father-and-son writing team set aside some time each day to hash out the story. Emerson began where the first HyperKid book ended with Alien-Bot wanting to destroy the universe and how it would be up to HyperKid and BullBorg to stop him. When Richard asked why Alien-Bot wanted to destroy the universe, Emerson explained that Alien-Bot believed that the rest of the universe was responsible for destroying his beloved home planet of Alania, which at one time was the home of a great civilization of Bots but had now fallen on hard times, and that the only way to save it was to destroy the rest of the universe and use its resources to restore it to its former greatness. Emerson also wanted to include a new super hero in the book and came up with the idea of a beautiful, charismatic girl from New York City named Stella Bella SuperStar. This new character continues the theme that began with the first HyperKid book, that those who are different in superficial ways may have more meaningful things in common, and that in order to save the world it will be absolutely necessary for people from all walks of life to work together to fight the real enemies of bullying, intolerance, and prejudice that are the root causes of so many major problems in contemporary global society.
