Humane Disposal
A victim with no memory.
Maria woke with no memory, rescued from the sex dungeon of a man who had held her captive. With her captor dead, now she may be the only hope for police to find another missing woman.
A cop ordered to lie.
Detective Cody McGraw is tasked to help Maria recover her memories. Just one problem — Maria isn’t who she thinks she is. She’s not even human. She’s a robot that shouldn’t exist, a model so close to human that it had to be shut down years ago — all of them humanely disposed of. She’s the first of her kind that anyone has seen in years and now she is marked for destruction. But first, Cody is given a chance to find out what she knows.
The clock is ticking.
Government agents want to dismantle and destroy Maria to find out how she has survived after her kind were disposed of. Cody is given a vary narrow window to get close to her and find out what she knows about the missing woman.
But getting close brings back his painful past, and he soon finds himself torn between his duty and doing the right thing.
Humane Disposal is a twisty, gut punch of a sci-fi thriller from the bestselling authors Sean Platt and David Wright.

Humane Disposal is one of those novels where you see half of the ending. The half you see irritates you to no end because you keep trying to figure out how someone so intelligent could be so foolish- regardless of what the heart wants.
Cody was a good guy, haunted by his past and the love of his life. When he comes across a female who reminds him of his deceased wife, he can’t do anything but strive to help her. Even when he sees, recognizes the clues that tell him the woman he’s trying to help isn’t who she appears to be. She’s not what she should be. But does he do what his training and instincts tell him? Nope.
That was very disappointing.
The story is good in that there’s a reason for everything. The woman who needed help was of an agenda not her own. She had no clue and when she figured it out, it was too late for her to stop it. If she’d wanted to...
Humane Disposal is an interesting short, science fiction thriller that many would enjoy. Just be prepared to be like, “Awww, man! Why?”
Cheers!

This was definitely my favorite of the Version Control series. An interesting story and take on the nearly human android theme. This one didn’t feel like it was stretched to make it novella length as the others mostly did. A quick and engaging read.
