Fiction. Romance. Science Fiction. Thriller. HTML:The Nebula Awardâ??winning author "continues to dazzle us with brilliance in combining science, romance and adventure." â??Romantic Times
MIT professor Megan O'Flannery is one of the world's leading research scientists on artificial intelligence for androids. Most of her work consists of working with computer simulations, so when the company MindSim gives Megan an opportunity to work with an android, she jumps at the chance.
Hidden and secret, an underground compound in the Nevada desert offers Megan a spectacular lab where she can live and work, mostly alone except for robotic assistantsâ??and the android. Although it appears physically indistinguishable from a human man, Megan realizes she has a lot of work ahead if he is ever to think and act like a human, let alone the superspy that MindSim wants him to be. She loosens the controls on his behavior, allowing the androidâ??who soon chooses the name Anderâ??the freedom of more independent thought.
However, when Raj Sundaram, the reclusive genius of robotics, arrives at the compound to work with the android, Ander's behavior takes a strange turn, causing Megan to distrust Raj. As Ander's development spins out of control, he throws the project into chaos, going rogue even as he becomes strongerâ??and more dangerously human.
"This novel is clearly science fiction first with a dynamic climax that will stun the unsuspecting audience who will fail to break The Phoenix Code before Ms. Asaro reveals the ending of this keeper." â??Painted Rock Reviews

An android that's achieving sentience and a gifted robotics expert, Megan O'Flannery, along with a robotics genius, Raj Dundaram, who is trying not to act on his attraction to Megan, but the android can tell about the attraction and he's starting to feel something too.

It's an interesting look at artificial intelligence and the meaning of being human. ( )

A re-working of a staple inSciFi - an escaped android. Megan is working on the development of an AI android, which subsequently escapes. When she and a colleague are kidnapped by the android, they have to work fast to socialize it. What makes this worthwhile is a nice romantic element to support the plot. Though not very original, it is never-the-less a real page turner with an exciting conclusion. The book made me want to read more from the author. ( )

The initial challenge of shepherding a budding artificial intelligence project to fruition turns deadly for coding expert Megan O'Flannery. In an isolated lab in the Nevada desert she and fellow robotics genius Raj attempt to diagnose and correct Aris's glitches and expand his grasp of what being human means. As Raj and Megan's relationship deepens, Aris begins to exhibit signs of jealousy, but as dangerous as a love-struck android may be, something worse is waiting in the wings that will test the resolution and humanity of all three and perhaps change the world as they know it forever.

Reminiscent in many respect of Asaro's Sunrise Alley, she again tackles the question of exactly what makes us human - and what humanity will do when we're no longer the only intelligent life out there. Not completely satisfying, but pleasantly resolved. ( )
