Detective Deyla Reckard hates
technology with a passion and now with the proliferation of
human looking robots she is further unnerved with every
encounter with one. Her current case, unfortunately, brings
her up close and personal with a new breed of robot that is
virtually undetectable as non-human. As the case evolves,
Deyla’s Post Traumatic Stress Disorder starts creating
problems to the point that she begins doubting her stability
and her ability to do her job. What will Deyla do if she is
required to leave the Police force?
Techno Thrall is an intriguing read that spins
a frightening outlook on a technological future. I had a
hard time relating to Deyla, as she doesn’t really come
across as a likeable character and her mysteries aren’t
really mysteries as they are easily figured out by any
intuitive reader. Also, the ending left a sour taste as it
takes Dayla in a direction that, although not surprising, is
somewhat dubious in terms of any sort of romance or
humanity. Pass up Techno Thrall as it isn’t
really an interesting read and it has a debatable ending
that romance lovers might not like. |
