The Post-Modern Prometheus
 
Synths were manufactured to look human and perform physical labor, but they were still only machines. That’s what the people who used—and abused—them believed, until the truth was revealed: Synths are independent, sentient beings. Now, the governments of the world must either recognize their human nature and grant them their rightful freedom, or brace for a revolution.
 
Former New Lyons Detective Jason Campbell has committed himself to the Synths’ cause, willing to fight every army the human race marches against them. But they have an even greater enemy in Walton Biogenics, the syndicate behind the creation and distribution of the “artificial” humans. The company will stop at nothing to protect their secrets—and the near-mythological figure known to Synths as “The First,” whose very existence threatens the balance of power across the world . . .  
 
Praise for SINthetic
 
“Darkly engrossing, SINthetic shines a stark light on the age-old question, what does it mean to be human?”—Julie Kagawa, New York Times bestselling author

About the Author

J.T. Nicholas was born in Lexington, Virginia, though within six months he moved (or was moved, rather) to Stuttgart, Germany. Thus began the long journey of the military brat, hopping from state to state and country to country until, at present, he has accumulated nearly thirty relocations. This experience taught him that, regardless of where one found oneself, people were largely the same. When not writing, Nick spends his time practicing a variety of martial arts, playing games (video, tabletop, and otherwise), and reading everything he can get his hands on. Nick currently resides in Louisville, Kentucky, with his wife, a pair of indifferent cats, a neurotic Papillion, and an Australian Shepherd who (rightly) believes he is in charge of the day-to-day affairs.

Very timely series. At what point do clones or AI get the same rights as humans? A must read for anyone interested in near-future tech and how it will impact society.

5.0 out of 5 stars SINdicate was a very fast read and I didn’t want to put it down...
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2018
I fell in love with The New Lyons Sequence after reading the first book SINthetic and couldn’t wait for the next book SINdicate. In the first book, SINthetic we were introduced to the world of the Synths who look like humans and act like humans but are not or so that is what everyone human and synth alike are taught or more like conditioned to believe from the day they are “born”.

Synths are nothing more than slaves or toys that humans can buy for their own personal use. It is believed that Synths feel no pain, emotionally or physically. They are used as babysitters, maids, prostitution or for whatever reason the buyer feels fit. Synths cannot cause humans any harm but a human can do as they please with a Synth.

Detective or former Detective Jason Campbell is one of the few humans who know that Synths do have feelings. Jason with the help a Synth named Silas are about to open up a few eyes and hearts hopefully. The world sees the Synths as nothing more than machines until they are given the truth which they are having trouble to believe without the backing of the governments. Jason and Silas have set out to prove to the world that Synths are human but first they must get the governments to back them and tell the world themselves the truth.

I love dystopian and science fiction novels and The New Lyons Sequence is the bomb as they say. I love the world of the Synths but I would love to know more about the Synths and how they were “born” and conditioned and how they felt with being someone’s personal toy or slave. Although I have loved seeing things from Jason’s point of view I would love to see things from a Synths point of view and get a look into their world so to speak.

Jason is a wonderful character and person I really loved his sense of humor and his sarcasm. I also loved the fight scenes they were so in-depth. I loved how the author gave so much info on each strike or hit. And like how to catch someone off guard by doing the opposite of what they expect and to watch someone’s shoulders to see which direction they are going to come at you next. I have always wanted to learn karate but never did so I did the next best thing I married someone who had. I have always loved watching movies or tv shows with Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jet Li and, Jackie Chan. I loved the movie Birth of a Dragon about Bruce Lee. I would love to see SINthetic and SINdicate both on the big screen.

SINdicate was a very fast read and just like with the first book SINthetic I didn’t want to put it down but I had to numerous times my advice, never start a good book during a weekend holiday.

I recommend SINdicate to all dystopia and science fiction fans who love to read about artificial life with futuristic qualities as well as some awesome fighting scenes with some nice round kicks, hand strikes, elbow strikes and, arm strikes thrown in. SINdicate is filled with action around every corner.

She Treads Softly
4.0 out of 5 stars second book in the series and is a continuation of the story
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2018
SINdicate by J.T. Nicholas is a highly recommended second book in the New Lyons Sequence.

This is definitely the second book in the series and is a continuation of the story started in the first book. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you read a series out of order or start in the middle. With the first two books of the New Lyons books, reading them in order matters a great deal.

Until the truth was revealed, Walton Biogenics claimed the Synths were manufactured to look human, but were "artificial" humans. Jason Campbell, former New Lyons Detective, discovered the truth and now is fighting for their rights. "Nearly a month since we had ripped off the veil covering the ugly truth that synthetics were not unthinking, unfeeling things, but as much people as any of the naturally born. Nearly a month, and for synthetics, things had gotten worse. Much worse. It wasn’t unexpected. Silas had predicted the reaction from society at large when we shone a spotlight on the truth that everyone suspected but no one seemed willing to admit..... We’d given the world an ultimatum: give synthetics rights, or be prepared to have all the little secrets that they had gathered in their decades of near-invisible servitude released to the public."

As with SINthetic, the premise of SINdicate is engaging, well-written, and continues to hold your attention from beginning to end. Nicholas again has planned out his plot carefully to keep the action moving and hold your attention. Those who appreciate martial arts and fighting are again rewarded with some well crafted and intricately described fight scenes. It was great to see a couple characters from the first book back in the second.

My criticisms of the first book continues with this one: at 180 pages the book is too short and the ending was rather abrupt. Early information had this second in the series as being almost twice as long as this, which makes me wonder if the series is being spread out over even more books or if it was edited down to this much shorter length. I have to admit that I am tiring of stories being spread out over several books for the sole purpose of creating a series. Again, there is something to be said in getting the whole story or a larger chunk of it quickly.
