Preservation Protocol

In the far future, robots and Synthetics have become a part of everyday life for the citizens of New Wave City. Detective Max Kincaid's okay with the robots, but the Synthetics? Not so much.

That becomes a problem after a meeting with Daryl Marston propels him into a murder conspiracy directly involving the artificial humans, something that should be impossible. Max soon finds himself working with the machines he despises to discover who wants Daryl dead. The detective soon learns Synthetics can be as unique as the humans they emulate.

As he digs deeper, Max finds an ever-widening conspiracy that involves two warring factions of enhanced Synthetics and the company that created them. What he discovers brings into question whether he even truly knows who he has been working with.

Who is real, who is Synthetic, and who is the next target? Max soon finds himself in a race to sort it all out before Daryl, and possibly humanity, runs out of time.
