! THIS IS A SAMPLE, NOT THE ENTIRE BOOK !



Raphael is the world’s first sentient robot. And virtuous to a fault—at least according to Andy, its creator.



When a suspicious turn of events puts Andy at home in a wheelchair, he learns that Raphael has gone missing.



How does a robot kept under constant surveillance vanish into thin air? Why is Andy being locked out by Halicom, his parent company? Most importantly, what happens when Raphael’s untested fail-safes start breaking in the real world?



Andy has faith in his design, but the problem is, he has something Raphael desperately needs. And no one really knows to what lengths the AI will go to get what it wants.



Confined to his remote home, struggling to stay ahead of Halicom's own agenda, Andy now has to fight…perhaps for his very life.
