“Doing noir as sci-fi is a real challenge and this ambitious book pulls it off!” - David Gerrold, Hugo & Nebula award-winning author of The Martian Child, Hella, & The Man Who Folded Himself

Jacob Kind is a synthetic Companion. Designed in a lab and sold, commercially, to be whomever his Primary (owner) wishes him to be, just like other synthetic Companions created as he was.

Jacob loves his "mother," Sylvia Kind, who believes Jacob is more than synthetic, that he has the potential to be as human as any other being... and she's dedicated to proving that to society as large. Jacob loves humanity, confusing as it can be for him, but more than anything, he's devoted to his mother.

In Volume 1, SOME ANIMALS, when Sylvia is murdered by a masked killer and Jacob is blamed for the crime, he escapes and goes on the run to find her killer, determined to bring that man to justice.

He has but one guiding light... serve and protect humanity at all costs.

In Volume 2, MINORITY OF ONE, Jacob finds himself in South Bend, passing for human as he searches for his mother's murderer, Munson Tolliver, only to get trapped in a raging protest against synthetics. Befriending a young mother working the streets, Jacob is drawn into violence he did not know he was capable of and must fight or lose his newfound friends.

In Volume 3, FREEDOM RUN, Jacob's search for Munson takes him to New York City, where he is adopted by a group of runaway synthetics who work in Central Park and dream of making a run for freedom in Canada. Just as he is about to help them escape, Munson Tolliver shows up to thwart their plans.

Jacob must choose between vengeance or helping his friends...

THE COMPANION CHRONICLES is a Sci-Fi thriller, it's MINORITY REPORT meets THE FUGITIVE, pure visionary excitement in book form.

“Some Animals is an exciting and propulsive sci-fi thriller. Don’t miss it!” - Kai Yu Wu, writer/producer (THE FLASH, CARNIVAL ROW, HANNIBAL)
