Los nanobots asesinos están sueltos, y el detective Maris Peterson va a averiguar por qué. Después de que una joven saltó a su muerte desde un pent-house y los robots viciosos se comieron a otra víctima desde las suelas hacia arriba, Maris, el hosco detective de ciudad se adentra profundamente en el vaporoso mundo de la reproducción, donde las mega-empresas recogen esperma y óvulos de donantes no dispuestos, los fetos son concebidos en platos Petri, y miles de niños crecen hasta la viabilidad en las fábricas. Después de que la Coalición se hace cargo de su investigación, Maris pasa a la clandestinidad y se profundiza cada vez más en la servidumbre brutal y represiva que sufren los Organo-humes cultivados en fábricas. Pero ¿puede averiguar quién está detrás de los asesinatos?
Scott Michael Decker, MSW, is an author by avocation and a social worker by trade. He is the author of twenty-plus novels in the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres, dabbling among the sub-genres of space opera, biopunk, spy-fi, and sword and sorcery. His biggest fantasy is wishing he were published. His fifteen years of experience working with high-risk populations is relieved only by his incisive humor. Formerly interested in engineering, he's now tilting at the windmills he once aspired to build. Asked about the MSW after his name, the author is adamant it stands for Masters in Social Work, and not "Municipal Solid Waste," which he spreads pretty thick as well. His favorite quote goes, "Scott is a social work novelist, who never had time for a life" (apologies to Billy Joel). He lives and dreams happily with his wife near Sacramento, California.
Kindle Unlimited, no idea why had this keyed up to read, it was confusing, pointless, and not much of a mystery, so although usually usually save the 2 for bad cozies this did not deserve even an amazon 3 {goodreads has different meanings for its stars}. Goodreads got a 1.
This book explored exploitation in a very interesting way, taking it into the future... not that it was the total focus of the story... I enjoyed the book well enough, but I'm not sure yet if I'll reread it or not
