My third novel, By Circuits Bound, has just been published. It’s a switch from historical fiction in my first two novels to science fiction, my real love. Enjoy!
In the not too distant future, robotics has significantly advanced due to breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI), neuroscience and biochemistry. One corporation, TRAIT, is the only one to market advanced, human-like androids as almost sentient companions. For
a small group of wealthy clients, a companion can be customized as a life partner, a replacement for a lost spouse, or a number of other roles. Business is brisk and
customer satisfaction is soaring.
What happens when someone kills a supposedly unkillable android
companion. And then another one…
TRAIT Vice President Carly Johnson and Veteran detective Clarence Savoy come together by circumstance to determine who is viciously killing the android companions.
The story follows their efforts and frustrations in seeking to identify and plan to stop the killer. As they come closer to the truth, they come closer to each other as well.
With all the current media coverage of AI, the story is very relevant.
