Product Description

What if you could buy the perfect lover built just for you -- would you be willing to pay the price?

Not long from now, an intelligent android will be invented that is completely indistinguishable from human. The brand name for this type of robot will be "Nymph", and their purpose will be to provide their owners with sexual pleasure. Suzanne is one of the first of this exciting new species. She doesn’t simulate love for her owner Alex or feign sexual pleasure when she’s with him -- her emotions are very real, and her love for her owner will never die until the day he does. But Alex doesn’t recognize Suzanne as the extraordinary miracle of art and programming that she is -- he’s too unnerved by her calculating behavior and haunted by memories of the past.

Luckily Suzanne meets a male Nymph named Jules, an exact replica of his closeted homosexual owner (who’s also a famous movie star). Jules shows Suzanne the possibilities beyond the limits of her programming -- and gives her illegal upgrades that conflict with her loyalty, until she doesn’t know who she is or who she’s supposed to love. Jules also introduces her to the Harlots -- a Marilyn Monroe-look-alike, a synthetic doppelganger for silent film star Louise Brooks, and a Nymphet that answers to the name Lolita. These three Harlots live without human owners and without love -- and though Jules promises to teach Suzanne how she can live the same way, he doesn’t realize that he’s falling in love with her.

Suzanne has to choose between her love and loyalty to her owner, and the new desires Jules has awakened inside her -- and meanwhile her human owner has to decide if he’s going to allow his past to undermine his future.

EXCERPT:
“Look into my eyes. Can you see my soul?” Radha said. “You’re gazing into the eyes of a machine -- I'm a Nymph.”
Alex examined her. There was a certain depth to her gaze, an empathy, as if she saw deep inside his heart. He was surprised how fast he accepted this startling new version of reality.
“Feel my hands,” Radha said, pressing her palms against his. “My skin feels just like any woman’s. Maybe better.”
She unzipped her tunic and unveiled her perfectly formed breasts. She pulled Alex’s hand to her exposed flesh. Her nipple hardened as he brushed over it with his fingers.
"That feels good,” she purred. “Pleasure is one of the main components of our programming -- I don’t just simulate sexual excitement, I actually respond physically to your touch, the same way a human woman would. The only difference is that I’m easier to please. I was designed to interpret every sensation I feel as pleasure, and nothing pleases me more than your satisfaction.”
Radha leaned in and kissed him, breathing warm air into his mouth while analyzing and predicting his preferences for open-mouth or tongue kissing. He opened his eyes, and her eyelids flickered in a perfect imitation of pleasure.
She pulled away. “You’d never know the difference if I hadn’t told you. The only thing you’d know the next day is that I was insatiable. And that I was the best you ever had."
As Radha pulled off the rest of her dress to reveal her smooth stomach and long tan legs, Alex became undeniably aroused. His thoughts of resistance were gone -- the machine in front of him had him right where she wanted him. Who cared that she had never been sick or suffered the indignities of childhood, and she would never grow old? All that mattered was that she was his right now.
And Radha was right -- she was the best he ever had. Of course, she had the advantage of being designed to have better-than-human endurance, coordination, and muscle control, as well as a certain intuition about her partner’s desires.
When Alex woke up on the floor two hours later, he knew that he would be ordering a custom Nymph of his own -- no matter what the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blow your mind - and load - on Nymph!, March 3, 2011
By 
This review is from: Nymph: The Singularity (Kindle Edition)
Okay, this one caught my by surprise. I think this is the author's first book, and what a debut it is. I'm a big fan of sci-fi, so decided I would take a shot on it because of the sexy cover and title. Other than Philip Jose Farmer and Samuel R. Delany, I can't think of many SF authors who deal frankly with what the future holds for sex. Nymph does. I was surprised at how emotional the story was, and what a good job the author did putting you in the shoes of a robot. The world is immersive, and I'd be interested in reading future books if this ends up being a series. If you enjoyed Charles Stross' "Saturn's Children," you will enjoy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heinlein meets Asimov, August 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nymph: The Singularity (Kindle Edition)
This book was SO much better than I expected. I bought it when looking for ways to learn more about Singularity theory. This was fiction, but got good reviews, and I took a genre class in sci-fi in college that talked about it being (at its best) a very philosophical branch of literature: one that asks not "is this likely to happen?" but rather "how would humanity and the world be affected if it did happen?". This book is well-written on so many levels. Those wanting the steamy read suggested by "Nymph" will not be disappointed. The frankness, ease, and humor expressed in the love scenes remind me of Robert Heinlein. Those wanting to explore the deeper implications of true artificial intelligence - how it might happen and what it might lead to - will not be disappointed either. In this respect the book brings to mind Isaac Asimov's robot series. Even this mix of smut with scientific innovation makes sense given the extent to which internet profits have depended on porn. I don't know right now if the author has written or will write more books to make this a series, but either way it deserves wider exposure and to be ranked with some of the best science fiction to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really better than I expected, April 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nymph: The Singularity (Kindle Edition)
Well-handled story on several levels. The main character was sympathetic, her life - hopes, dreams and conflicts were effectively explored. the method she uses to locate the lab on her own terms was dramatic and touching all at once.

Though personally, some of the robots were less... respectable. A being that can't love, and has to dump her memory every few weeks really isn't on par with a human being, and I wouldn't worry about a disposable robot with such stunted potential. But none of that applies to our heroine. Though, If I was a billionaire, I'd be torn between purchasing her - or just buying Radha outright.
