In the year 2064, genetically designed humans live side by side with synthetic humans. Civilization is dominated by The Society which infiltrates and controls everybody. Connor Flynn is a synthetic designer at the Institute for Synthetic Research. He is also a one in a million free thinker, capable of thoughts and actions outside The Society’s legal boundaries. He decides, despite overwhelming risks, that he will break The Society rules and secretly design his perfect synthetic female companion. She turns out to be all that he desired and so much more in a story that twists and turns until the final dramatic and unexpected conclusion. Contains adult themes. A sequel is currently being written.

“An excellent and intriguing novel. The synthetic character, Natasha, is a wonderful fiction creation. The Society seems the perfect world, hardly any crime, no prejudice, no wars and an android partner for everyone. But freedom is the price to be paid. The unexpected end hints at a sequel and I hope the author writes a follow up as he has created a captivating world with well drawn characters.”

“An exceedingly assured, intelligent and grippingly paced sci-fi debut from Christopher Stanbury…”

“I absolutely loved every minute of every page of this book, would be so fascinating if this were our future…”

I live in England and have loved the creative journey of writing ever since I can remember. I have had two books previously published which have sold well but this is my first science fantasy/science fiction novel. However I have always been drawn to the world of science fantasy/fiction and experience great pleasure from setting an imaginary world for the reader to become immersed in. Here the world is a vision of the future; a world where synthetics and humans co-exist. I hope you will enjoy my characters, the world I have created and the possibilities and concerns this story poses about the possible future. Above all expect the unexpected.
