    About this ebook

    Clever android develops a moral sense in defiance of her creator.

    Before Synthia Cross is “Reborn” as a highly advanced android, creator Jeremiah Machten makes her steal to help him improve her. He sets her goals to obey orders to steal a sophisticated empathy chip to enhance her social skills. He hopes the chip will let her love him as a human might. A growing moral sense causes her to fight back. Can she stop him and escape his control over her? Find out where the adventure begins...

    If you like Michael Crichton, A. G. Riddle, Robert J. Sawyer, or Hugh Howey, check out Android Chronicles.

    “sci-fi writing that would make Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein proud and fans of HBO’s Westworld thrilled.” —Jon Land, USA Today–bestselling author on Reborn, the first novel in the series.

    This thriller novelette is the first prequel to Android Chronicles: Reborn.

    ***** review of novel Reborn: “fantastic read with brilliant characters... Read in one sitting. Just couldn't put it down.”

    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.
