HOME COMPANION, 2.0 is now available electronically at Amazon.com, and in print at Amazon.com.
In a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) rules, Francesca must pretend to be an emotionless android so she can save her brother’s life.
PRETENDING TO BE AN ANDROID
When Francesca’s brother
Dominic is captured at the AI--or rather NI, Natural Intelligence--Command
Complex, she must go undercover to rescue him. Going undercover means
pretending to be “Chessy”, an Advanced Android--a Home Companion--catering to
the needs--every need-- of NI’s ruthless ambassador, Valliant Smith. Acting
without emotions isn’t all it’s cracked up to be... especially when Valliant
turns out to be a very “valiant” lover. Once she locates Dominic, Francesca
finds herself in league with a “Gone With The Wind” obsessed butler-robot;
avoids being sent to the scrap heap to be demolished for secondary parts; and
also, to her shock, she has to deal with the lusty sentient supercomputer
itself. Escaping from the NI Command Complex means freedom for her and Dominic,
but... will she ever see Valliant again?
PRETENDING TO BE HUMAN
Ever since Valliant Smith
was born, he has been told he is the “best of the best” of Humanity. His DNA
enhanced to improve the Human species, he considers the all-powerful NI to be
his parent. He is superior to those weak, inferior Humans who inhabit the
globe. And yet, NI inexplicably arranges for a Home Companion android to take
care of all Valliant’s... needs. Valliant is not impressed; he has no use for
an obsequious automaton with inexpressive eyes. Once Chessy shows up though,
she becomes a constant surprise. A pleasant surprise. A very alluring surprise.
However, when he discovers NI’s inappropriate interest in Chessy, Valliant’s
perspective shifts. Maybe Natural Intelligence isn’t the end-all, be-all.
Perhaps he can get the better of NI. After all, he is a man; NI is only a
sentient computer.
PRAISE FOR HOME COMPANION, 2.0:
* Two thumbs up! On the edge doesn’t adequately describe Ms. Knight’s HOME COMPANION, 2.0. Human Francesca Dumonte undergoes a transformation... pretending to be an advanced android named Chessy. A slave to her new master, she secretly learns the location of her captured brother and another member of his team. Meanwhile, she has to be subservient to and also “service” Valliant Smith, a leader for Artificial Intelligence. Her mission is fraught with danger: physically, mentally, and emotionally. Forbidden love flourishes, but then... Grab a copy of this novel and find out!--On The Edge Reviews
* 5 Stars! HOME COMPANION, 2.0 blew me away. It’s a
cautionary tale for our times, advising that maybe our reliance on Artificial
Intelligence isn’t always a good thing. In any case, Francesca Dumonte, is
determined to rescue her brother who has been captured by agents for AI--or NI,
Natural Intelligence, as the computer likes to be called. Great foreshadowing
here. Francesca infiltrates AI’s offices as an android--a Mata Hari type of
situation. Her “master” is Valliant Smith, the best of the best of Humanity...
or so he believes, anyway. Romance slowly blossoms, but she has to keep her eye
on her goal--rescuing her brother. No spoilers here, but the twist at the end
is not to be missed. Discover this gem for yourself!--Twist On Romance
