About the Book

Synthetic Intelligence. Thought impossible, but Dr. Wallace Theren has pushed the boundaries of computational science, creating an artificial mind capable of conscious thought. Naturally, his creation faces a harsh world bent on using it, exploiting it, or destroying it. If the first synthetic intelligence is to survive its early years, it'll need friends, but more importantly, it'll need a family. 

And together, they'll need to show their enemies they're worth saving . . . or fearing.  

Do you enjoy science fiction with robots, androids, virtual worlds, and corporate conspiracies? First of Their Kind is the first book of the Chronicles of Theren, a centuries-spanning science fiction series that will force readers to question what it truly means to be . . . a person. 

It will invoke the character driven feel of a tale like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick, but through a narrative that slowly unfolds upon a scale closer to that of Dune or The Expanse. But at the heart of First of Their Kind, you will experience the hopes and dreams of the first synthetic intelligence; the first SI. The story is through their eyes.

Review

I have never read a story so different, so like this one. “ First of their kind,” is truly rejuvenating and a breath of fresh air. It’s kind of more like a non-Fiction story but is intriguing to the very end.

If you are a true fan of reading. Reading a very interesting book, “First of their kind” is the book you are looking for. I can not wait until the next book comes out.
