    About this audiobook

    Most Wanted Android A uniquely intelligent AI, Synthia is coveted by the most devious domestic and foreign cabals. Dangerously independent, she becomes ruthlessly hunted . . . Evolving into the perfect weapon, humaniform AI Synthia Cross has been on the run six months and counting. She found a most unexpected ally in Maria Baldacci, a street-smart activist fighting the nascent threat of the singularity. Synthia is everything Maria fears and abhors. But Synthia's also the only one who can help Maria battle against the creation of an android army. But the forces against them are growing-a threat more invasive than anything Synthia has encountered before. An insidious artificial intelligence she can't identify, can't control, and appears much smarter than her seeks to use her to escape . . .

    Lance Erlick

    Lance Erlick writes science fiction thrillers for adult and young adult readers. In 2018, he launched his Android Chronicles series with Reborn and continued it with Unbound and Emergent. This series follows the challenges of Synthia Cross, wrestling with the download of a human mind and emergent behavior while confronted by humans who seek to control her. Xenogeneic: First Contact is about alien pilgrims who lost their civil war and come to our solar system. They kidnap aerospace engineer Elena Pyetrov to prevent her from discovering them. As their prisoner, she’s the only one who can uncover their plot and stop them from decimating Earth. The Regina Shen series takes place after abrupt climate change leads to collapse and a new World Federation. As an outcast, Regina must fight to stay alive and help her family while she avoids being captured. In the Rebel series, Annabelle Scott faces a crisis of conscience after she’s drafted into the military to enforce laws she believes are wrong.

      The review I see above is for another book!

      The heroine's name is Synthia, and the author manages to entwine serious IT knowledge with a smidgen of android adventure in the exact dose. I warmly recommend all the three books of the series appeared so far. Mr. Erlick has obviously hit gold with this semi-SF idea, and I for one hope his inspiration will not get dry soon.
