Too bad about the errors, but the book itself sounds interesting. Human/animal hybrids could lead to an interesting discussion.

I read the excerpt and this review. Seems like a cast of 1000's! Ok... maybe a few 10's... LOL I'm a great fan of AI being as good as human ever since Heinlein and it seems that this is along the same lines. "Hiro’s flamboyant nature and his outbursts tickle the reader’s funny bone" from the above review totally nails it from the excerpt. I don't think I'd be able to keep a straight face around the man, either! LOL

Sounds like a great book for Sci-Fi readers. I was not interested in the story while I was reading the sample on Amazon, but your review about the characters and humor in this book has changed my mind. I think I will give this book a chance. Thanks for the great review.

This sounds really intriguing! Shame about the grammatical errors, but it sounds like it's worth the read anyways. Great review. Thank you.

I'm not really one for sci-fi but the premise of this story sounds pretty interesting. I might have to give this one a try!

The main characters and the AI portrayed are relatable, funny and a little heartbreaking.

It sounds like this has a pretty fun premise to it, but I worry that I'm going to have to go back and read the first in the series before tackling this one. There seems to be a lot going on right from the get go!

Seems like an interesting book. About a bot imbibing human emotions is rather a complex subject matter. I look forward to how the author has tackled this point.

Not my type of fiction but I agree with the review that the story is thrilling, action-packed and a fantastic story as summarized. Great review, and hoping that the issues you noted will be fixed.

Thanks for the review.
An android starts learning and evolving and is almost like a human and he can assist in surgeries. The story revolves around the doctors of the Space station. Dr Hiro who has built the android, Ben. Dr Jeffrey Nestor who agrees to help Jude Luis Stefansson, a famous video maker, who wants to change his physical body to his avatar that he uses in his videos. Dr Jeffrey Nestor who was sent away from the station for an attempted murder stealthily gets back to the station in an incoming vehicle and manages to spread a computer virus into Nelson Mandela’s programs. A sci-fi fiction story which keeps the readers on edge.

Love blooms between an android and a human. This feels like the ones I see in anime, but I would really love to see how the author played it out. It was good that you enjoyed it. Thank you for your review!
