Praise for Patrick Quinlan: "A shocking, violent read, jam-packed with action and a cast of incredible characters" -- Independent Weekly (Australia) "A superb debut. A great crime novel. Brilliant is the word" -- Independent on Sunday "Packed with adrenalin, violence and an all-too-credible set of New York characters" -- The Times "Tightly plotted, confidently written and very hip" -- Observer * * * What if you could be immortal? And what if the price was to give up everything first, including your very life? Susan Jones is about to find out. A robotics scientist out of MIT, Susan is one of the inventors of the Sexbot, the world’s most advanced robot sex toy. Sexbots combine the cutting edge of robotics, sex dolls, and artificial intelligence into one sensational product. Marketed to the richest of the rich, they’re beautiful, they’re smart, and oh so sexy – so realistic, in fact, that they’re almost more human than humans themselves. Sexbots have made Susan, and the company she works for, Suncoast Cybernetics, vastly wealthy. But Susan is working on a new project. She has stumbled upon the key to immortality – which is to download human awareness into intelligent machines. She conducts her first experiments on chimpanzees, and the process works. Concerned by the ethics of the discovery, Susan tries to delay the project. But Suncoast is eager to move forward with human trials. CEO Howard Neale believes immortality will be worth hundreds of billions of dollars and wants to rush the product to market, while company Chairman James Walsh is dying of cancer and wants to use the technology to save himself. The company sends the assassins Mr. Blue and Mr. Green to murder Susan at her home. Just before they kill her, Susan runs to her private lab, and downloads herself into the most intelligent machine she has at hand – Number Nine, the prototype for the ninth generation of Sexbots. Number Nine is faster, stronger, and more sexual than any human. Now, Susan is inside Number Nine, dead and yet alive, and on the run. Pursued by Mr. Blue and the militarized security forces of the company, and with a bomb inside her set to go off in 24 hours, Nine must use her smarts, her physical gifts and her hedonistic sexuality to survive. Sexbot is fast-paced, sexy, pedal to the metal adventure, with twists, turns and surprises galore. * * * Praise for Patrick Quinlan: “Smoked by Patrick Quinlan secures your attention like a rusty nail being driven in your forehead.” - Peter Kettle, Amazon Reviewer “Like a small snowball on a hill it gathers pace and crashes on grabbing you with it to the end... then you think to yourself... hell I wanna do that again.” - WoolyBully, Amazon Reviewer

Awesome ride!

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2022

Loved this sci-fi thriller! Brilliant scientist narrowly escapes being assassinated by downloading her mind into the shell of a bionic, fully-animated sex doll. What’s not to love? I spent the night thoroughly enjoying the decadent stream of colorful characters and non-stop action! The rich detail conjured vivid images of cinematic storyboards. As the pace accelerated, scenes exploded into full blown technicolor! I found myself fully immersed in the action and completely engaged to the point where I had to finish in one sitting. Yes, I stayed up way too late reading. Totally worth it!

Okay, the premise and the execution of the story are at odds.

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2023

The premise is that "being human" is not the same as having a human body, and that might mean the next evolutionary move for life-- by not being alive, but being "a being of a new kind."

That possible evolutionary leap interested me greatly, but the story almost immediately it turns into "the super rich" versus "everyone else on the planet" and while there are some super rich who seek only to exploit others, the fanatical level of the rich in this story is more than I can accept. The behavior of the purchasers of the sexbots does exist for some people, but here it is painted as "everyone" who can afford a sexbot wants one and loses touch with the human species. That it was a "male only" approach just did not ring true, and the level of demand for the product at the prices named makes no sense to me. I feel that the whole sexbot development is rising to a false level, but then, fiction is by nature, false.

The laws of physics get ignored in various sections, and a quick math check shows that vehicles do not move or perform the way they were written.

The weaponry used is a nightmare of wrong information, lack of any connection to what such weapons would or would not do, and I almost quit because it was so wrong it made trying to read it much like the idea that the kid down the street has created a supersonic bicycle out of spare parts he found in the trash cans or sitting on the curb waiting for trash day, or even parts that he picked up on store clearance tables or at yard sales. I shall not go into it, but the real weapons and what the weapons in the story do in terms of function were so painful different that it was clear that either the author had not a clue or was deliberately creating impossible situations.

What it boils down to is that what was on the page was more about sex and money than was needed, accuracy regarding both weapons and physics were optional, and it still had some factors at play as to the human mind. The effect was more like randomized spelling to get past a dead end or malfunctional situations, which I hated.

It earns a five out of ten, or-- five star scale-- three out of five stars.

I admit that I was tempted to go four out of ten or two out of five, but some flashes of humanity and possible change in what was human or not-- it had potential.

It did not live up to the potential, and when the tough parts came the story called in sick.

First Class Sci-Fi Action Adventure Story

Wow, excellent action adventure story. Great character development, kept me entertained from start to finish. I liked the author's writing style so much I bought several others offered on Kindle even before I finished this one and have not been disappointed. Currently halfway through his book, Smoked (Book #1 in the Stolen Millions series) and its been excellent as well. Its so hard to find a good author, I'm looking forward to reading more of his work.

An entertaining story that could have been much more interesting.

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

I was much more interested in the speculative fiction nature of the book than its crime genre roots. I was drawn to it for the ramifications of human minds transferred to machines (and, well, to the titillating notion of said machines being originally designed as advanced sex robots). I was disappointed to find so few paragraphs spent on the experiences—particularly the psychology—of inhabiting a non-human body.

Quinlan's handling of the techno-babble was adept: he drew little attention to that which is currently unknown (or known to be false) such as the nature of the mind, intelligence, or how a computerized intelligence might work. He simply glossed over it and left it assumed true. On the other hand, the character motivations were silly to me (perhaps because of my lack of experience with stories of conspiratorial espionage). For instance, why would corporate heads resort to such pointless murder when there were so many cleaner and more effective ways to accomplish their goals? Similarly, I found the use of heavy weaponry and explosives to be cheap and distracting.

Nonetheless, the story clips along and stays interesting. It could have been richer in a lot of places, but it gets the job done and (to paraphrase another reviewer) it's an entertaining diversion.

This book has the very interesting premise that people can be downloaded into robots! This volume was fun and interesting in many ways, but unsatisfactory in that it is little more than a preface to a real novel, which I hope is more fleshed out than this introductory piece! Publishing very short pieces seems to be a common practice in these days of Amazon style publishing, but I am having trouble getting used to books that are really just chapters in the whole story😎

Ja, man kann es lesen. Es gibt eine Zeitbombe, die in den letzten sechs Sekunden entschärft wird, Verfolgungsjagden mit Auto+Hubschrauber, Drone+Schnellboot etc. Auch ein paar Sex-Szenen (nicht pornografisch, eher faktische Schilderungen). Aber die wenigen originellen Gedanken, die der Autor hat (wo befindet sich die Seele des Menschen?), werden kaum ausgebaut, der gesamte Stil ist mechanisch, kein Lesevergnügen.

As Tony The Tiger would have said Its gggrrrgreat. The best l can say is that you can't wait to find out what is going to happen. The spelling and grammar is correct. I would recommend this book to most people, it obviously has some sexual activities but not very much and they aren't too graphic.

Intriguing Concept but Adrenaline Junkie Plot leaves little tim for explorations

Reviewed in Australia on April 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

For a book that is based on such an intriguing concept such as the download of human awareness into a robot to create immortality the author essentially decides to ignore most of the key ideas that could be explored while concentrating primarily on delivering non-stop action (plus the mundatory sexual content).

It's a shame too that for a whodunnit you are aware of the main perpetrators (I suppose perhaps necessary) within the first couple of chapters.

I'd give it a 4/5 for conceptual idea and initial execution but I'm held back due to execution and a fairly predictable plot.
