Publisher's summary

When machine murders man, one detective is the world's only hope of preventing an all-out-war....

Dhata Mays has become used to living on the fringes. Unlike most of humanity, the detective treats the synth population with the respect they deserve. But when a gruesome murder points to a synth as the perpetrator, Dhata must do everything in his power to discover an explanation before the case goes public.

In a race against time, Dhata discovers a scheme involving cypher hackers, synth prostitutes, and a pair of rival gang bosses that could tear the city apart. When the case puts his loved ones in harm's way, the investigation becomes personal. For Dhata to keep the uneasy peace, he'll have to track down the murderers himself, but no one said he had to take them alive.

A light and entertaining Sci-Fi story.

With a taste of many previous Sci-Fi stories this Book is still unique delivering a good plot and well developed
characters.

As in any successful Audio Book a good Narrator is needed to bring the story to the listener and that is true here.

So if you want an entertaining read that is not a literary masterpiece you have a good candidate in this Book.

YES! DHATA IS BACK!

The first in the series (well, Book "0"), Dhata Mays, was incredible, and I was majorly pumped when starting this one, the next book in The Synch Crisis series. He works his magic yet again, working the Synths, but soon things get dangerous, and personal. Dhata Mays is AWESOME, I've so enjoyed listening to these books! Action, intrigue, danger, great book and great narration. Love it!

So far, so very good

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a great story along the lines of Blade Runner and Altered Carbon with synthetic people living among humanity. The main character, Dhata Mays, is an interesting character and I found him very engaging. This was a great first book of the series. I am definitely hooked and looking forward to more.

A Great Start for the Series

First, I'd like to express my sincere thanks to Greg Dragon for a copy of this book.

As a huge fan of Sci-Fi & Crime novels, I was excited to receive this book and see how it stood out from the ever expanding sea of books to choose from. Let me say this, if you like either of the two genres, or a story that sets up a world around itself while teasing bigger things to come, get this book.

The story was a little generic at first, but then the details and characters come alive, both in part of Mr. Dragon's writing, as well as Mr. McDougall's narration. While you've heard of things similar in the past no doubt, the way the story is told is definitely unique. If I had to compare it to something, it would be a mix of Blade Runner, Altered Carbon (show as I have yet to read the books), or Black Mirror.

As far as negatives go, I would say that the main character feels fleshed out, only in another story. I didn't know that their was a prequel novel when I asked for a copy of this book, so now I really want to read the prequel as it probably explains Dhata's backstory more. Another thing that could be said is sometimes it seems that Mr. McDougall gives Dhata a kind of "standard" voice when the action slows down. The only way I can think of it would be to say that he's simply "reading" the words, which he is, so I guess I have no argument there haha.

Overall, a great start to a series that I want to continue to read / listen to. Worth the credit in my opinion.

Great On-Going Saga

This is great beginning to an on-going saga with interesting stories and characters that hold your attention, and make you look forward to the next book. Mr. Dragon used his unique talent to make the characters come alive and make you feel a part of the story. This is definitely worth a listen to.
