Nikolai Crowe’s life takes a downturn in a hurry when he is arrested for murdering his ex-girlfriend, Jade Sho. Luckily for Nikolai, he has help from a human clone identified as Alpha Replica 3007. This clone, along with the remaining alpha models that have begun to realize self awareness, has worn out his usefulness and is set to be destroyed. To save their lives, the clones have escaped their creator on Mill Rock Island. Alpha 7 believes Nicolai to be innocent and helps him toward something Jade left for him before her death. What Nikolai finds stuns him. Did the mayor actually arrange his daughter’s murder when she learned his secret? Nikolai believes that the murder was indeed the work of Jade’s own father, New York City Mayor Hiroshi Sho, who has orchestrated a plan to bring his own brand of law and order to the entire country. What are the mayor’s plans? What did Jade hide, and how does it tie in with the clones? To save himself, Nikolai must find the real killer before getting caught by crooked cops, who want to see him dead.
Wow, the best of two worlds, a good sci-fi story and a great mystery all rolled into one. The author has woven a superb tale of murder, double-cross, conspiracy, and betrayal. The characters are first rate, and the plot is intricate enough without being over the top. I found myself pulling for the Alpha Clones in their quest to stay alive and for the protagonist to get the help needed to stop an evil plan. Very nicely done.
