Preservation Protocol
In the far future, robots and human-like Synthetics have become a part of everyday life for the citizens of New Wave City. Detective Max Kincaid's okay with the robots, but the Synthetics? Not so much.
That becomes a problem after a meeting with Daryl Marston propels him into a murder conspiracy directly involving the artificial humans, something that should be impossible. Max soon finds himself working with the machines he despises to discover who wants Daryl dead. In the process, he learns Synthetics can be as unique as the humans they emulate.
Digging deeper, Max finds an ever-widening conspiracy that involves two warring factions of enhanced Synthetics and the company that created them. What he discovers brings into question whether he even truly knows who he has been working with.
Who is real, who is Synthetic, and who is the next target? Max finds himself in a race to sort it all out before Daryl, and possibly humanity runs out of time.

A delicious cross between I, Robot, Bladerunner and the TV Show Almost Human. I enjoyed every page. A good overarching plot, that kept me guessing. Three-dimensional characters bring the story to life, and an amazing array of sub-characters each with their own personality Jax the police robot, Jeb the poor auto-salesguy, Angel the replicant and Robby the Newsbot. :Adore: Buy it you'll love it.
