Well, this book certainly sounds different! You had me at "murder," and you kept me at "robots." And while the cover is certainly silly, it does have an interesting sci-fi charm to it. May have to check this one out, thanks!

I don't get one thing, why is the cover with a women hugging a robot? The plot is very attractive and I believe that the story will be a good one but why the girl and robot? Thank you!

There is some Romancein the book. It's just not explicit. I guess that'swhere the cover comes from.

Awesome to see that it got a 4 out of 4 stars from you. It must be good :-)
Haha! I thought the same, that this book is something about pleasure robots for sure, it's all the hype now anyway. :D

Oh, my! :lol2: I thought this story was about futuristic sex when I saw the cover! It does needs revamping. The story sounds quite good. The theme of artificial intelligence, I think, will continue growing in publishing. Thanks for the review!

I know, right? I looked at this for quite a while before deciding to review it simply because of the cover. Thanks for commenting!

Yep, very unfortunate cover for something that you say has nothing to do with erotica... But it sounds like an interesting concept done well. Thanks for the review!

I really, really hope that the editor/author changes the cover! I know many people who would enjoy this, but would completely avoid it due to the cover!

This sounds like a phenomenal read! I'm a fan of sci-fi anime's like Ghost in the Shell, so this is right up my alley. I'm definitely reading this. Thanks for the spectacular review.

I was never a huge science-fiction fan, especially not of the harder SF with the heavy reliance on the science part. However, I have read a handful of SF novels and I'm expressing interest in more as time goes on. I especially like the inclusion of DARPA and artificial intelligence because those play a huge part in my academic research. Thanks for the review! I'm going to add this book to my TBR list!

Amazing book though, it is very unique, the story was for science lovers like me while alien stories combined with robots is awesome! even if it is fictional though. I'd love reading it.
