Amazon Reviews:
"An exhilarating and imaginative sci-fi novel that combines action, technology, and deep philosophical themes. The story is fast-paced, filled with intriguing characters and futuristic concepts that keep you engaged from start to finish. The world-building is impressive, and the plot twists make it a truly exciting read. A must-read for fans of thought-provoking and action-packed sci-fi!" (Huber 1/25)

"The two lead characters are the best part, one human, the other a robot. At times, the robot seems the more human. The corporate supremacy line has been used before, but not with the powerful robot subplot. The conclusion is quite emotional. Great read for a flight home. " (D)

"Well written, dynamic and visual." (SE)

"I enjoyed it as fiction as well as a metaphor of our world." (DE)

"A sci fi thriller. Quite a surprise ending. I recommend it." (SVDS)

"I found it to be reminiscent of other science fiction authors as it has flavors of "I Robot" (Isaac Asimov) in its technology vision of a world of powerful robots, with a deep dose of George Orwell's "1984" and Huxley's "Brave New World" view of world politics, both bad and hopeful. It is a quick read that will definitely leave an impression." (AC)

"Fast-paced with a strong, suspenseful plot and compelling characters. The author lays out a future with technological detail and realism that sci-fi aficionados will enjoy along with the human story of a woman's awakening to the truth. A great read. (AC)
