'Roberta Complete' IS the complete package!
I'm always visualizing everything I read. So, first let me comment that the imagery of 'Roberta Complete' is personified by the artistry of it's cover. It intrigued me to dive into this thought provoking and compelling story - and I was not disappointed. I was totally blown away by the modern angle on the concepts behind the 'Terminator' sagas.
I was continuously impressed by the character development within the multi-dimensional story line which follows the journey of a strong female lead, Roberta, an anatomically correct engineered by meshing both artificial and human behaviors. Jay A. Harris captivates you with the 'stages of evolution,' so to speak, that chronicles the initial deployment, adjustments and upgrades of Roberta by her creator, Dr. Kenneth Murphy.
This suspenseful adventure places Roberta into a multitude of situations and she finds herself having to handle an assortment of... pretty divergent roles from a Nanny and flower shop gal to serving as a bodyguard and a military warrior.
I think when a work from this genre gives you such a wide range of story, it keeps you turning pages. Roberta Complete holds you on the edge of your 'reading seat' with a bunch of plot twists that make it hard to put down. It has a full combine of the revenge and treachery you might anticipate from the start - and for this reader, the romance only adds to the overall intriguing plot.
With so much 'AI' conversation prevalent in the world today, the concepts behind developing 'Roberta's' in the near future do not seem so far-fetched. So this book, gives on pause for some reflection on the role artificial intelligence plays in our lives now... and on the horizon.
Mr. Harris's writing style is excellent, and his flair for suspense keeps you flipping pages and to see what happens next! I would absolutely recommend this mind-enthralling five star read, and I look forward to getting to experience more of this author's work.
