MIM*X
Soft Robots
After bloody civil unrest, environmental disaster, and the Third World War, benevolent corporations have replaced governments and delivered peace, prosperity, and equality to a grateful human race.
Max Carmichael is an agent in the Cryptics Bureau, whose duty is to protect the corporations that govern the world. But when he’s given a secret mission to find a mysterious woman linked to acts of sabotage, he discovers she was part of a MIM*X experiment that links human brains to artificial intelligence. Evan Lord, the enigmatic and powerful CEO of the MIM*X corporation, wants to shape society into a harmonious blend of humans and robots using neural implants. Carmichael soon realizes his involvement is no accident, and he’s forced to choose between duty and humanity as rogue outliers plot to take down MIM*X.
And the woman he is ordered to destroy causes him to question not only his own existence, but that of the entire global society as well.

“Give a care, have a share”
Well crafted story line, well laid out plot, progressive character development makes for a great sci fi. Although some descriptions was difficult to visualise - I can’t quite picture those air skiis.
Laura Bell - her name is synonymous to that of a typical “movie star” name but her character seems to be highly intelligent and a perfect all rounder. Max Carmichael, the hero in this story is typical of your “federal bureau” cookie cutter type personality and has a sense of humour that readers can warm up to.
I do look forward to the next book.

Good stuff!
This is very entertaining! I will classify this as a sci-fi, techno thriller! It's a comfortable read, and I thought the story paced itself with the action and plot description. This author, Scott Nicholson, hasn't let me down yet.

Brilliant and well thought out the characters were convincing and I wasn't sure how it would work out until the last few pages. Gripping
