Shelli

The Android Detective

De: Doug Brode

Narrado por: Kelli Tager

Meet Shelli, a synthetic investigator that hunts defective and often dangerous machines. In its years of service to Homeland Security, Shelli has never questioned its purpose, never doubted its mission, and never failed in its task.

Until now.

Partnered with young analyst Jake August, Shelli finds itself wading into deep political waters after a US senator is brutally murdered, presumably by a synthetic. In their search for answers, Shelli and Jake race across America, from Washington DC’s halls of power to the vast, frigid plains of Alaska. But every clue they discover only creates more troubling questions, because what they are hunting is neither human nor machine. It is something far more dangerous . . . the next evolution.

enjoyable characters

this story moves well . doesn't give to much away either. I hope there's a couple more books coming out .

Great Performance

I learned about this book at LA Comiccon and decided to take it for a whirl. This is typically not my genre but crime, robots and genetics seemed like a good mix. It really picks up in the last two hours. Fun listen.

Good stuff

The characters grew on me and the concepts really good. An updated and sexier version of Asimov's detective robot stories.

Great Book

Hope to read about the rest of Shelli’s story, sounds like there is a lot more to tell.

Awful writing, plot is FULL of holes

Narrator did her best with the awful story she was given, and I got the impression she was rolling her eyes and doing face-palms during breaks.
The story is at once completely predictable and completely unbelievable.
I almost quit half-way through, but instead, I toughed it out by listening at x1.5 speed.
