About the Book

Thirty years in the future, when AI is so advanced that humans live side by side with cognizant humanoid robots called Artificials, Kestrel Hathaway must come to terms not just with what machines?know,?but with what they?believe. Soon after experiencing a personal tragedy, Kestrel witnesses a terrorist attack on a nearby artificial factory and is unknowingly drawn into a world of conspiracies and lies. Along with her own Artificial, Jordan, they attempt to untangle the web around them. With a second, more brutal attack looming on the horizon, their best chance of stopping it is teaming up with federal counterterrorism agent Nick Vernon. But the clock is ticking--and all the while, Jordan is asking questions Artificials were never meant to ask . . . questions that rock Kestrel to her very core. Deftly weaving suspense and intrigue into a rich, resonant tale that explores faith and what it really means to be human, Steven James offers us a glimpse into the future—and into our own hearts. Synapse?is an unforgettable, gripping story of dreams shattered, truth revealed, and hope reborn. Praise for?Synapse: "Perfectly timed and thought-provoking,?Synapse?is a smart, intense thriller that keeps the suspense?building until the final page. Steven James once again delivers a perfect amalgam of character and?plot, totally immersing the reader in an irresistible narrative." --Simon Gervais, international bestselling author of?Hunt Them Down "Next-level suspense that keeps the pages turning, combined with next-level writing on par?with the great literary masters . . .?Synapse?is not merely a thriller you should read--as 5G?approaches and advances in AI snowball, it is the thriller you can't afford?not to." --James R. Hannibal, award-winning author of?The Gryphon Heist

About the Author :
Steven James is the critically acclaimed, national bestselling author of sixteen novels. His work has been optioned by ABC Studios and praised by Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, the New York Journal of Books, and many others. His pulse-pounding, award-winning thrillers are known for their intricate storylines and insightful explorations of good and evil.  When he’s not working on his next book, he’s either teaching master classes on writing throughout the country, trail running, or sneaking off to catch a matinee.

Review :
'Synapse isn't a retread of the Pinocchio story with the character wanting to be a real boy. It's the story of a created being that asks hard existential questions. Jordan's pursuit of answers makes the reader contemplate deep philosophical questions as well. What does it mean to be truly alive? What makes someone truly human? The author has crafted a glimpse of a future when mankind and computer technology fully merge. He immerses the characters into a tense thriller, creating a unique and thought-provoking reading experience.' 'James [ . . . ] delivers a thought-provoking look at the definitions of humanity, belief, and faith in this timely near-future sf thriller.' 'stimulating tale. . . Animated by themes of hope, love, and belief in the afterlife, James's thrilling thrilling story of greed and corruption will win over readers.' 'Suspenseful and profound. A mind-bending thriller with a taut storyline filled with the added tension of existential questions and ethical dilemmas we have no answers to today--but may find ourselves wrestling with in the all-too-near future.' 'This is a remarkable novel, perceptive and thoughtful. Synapse challenges the reader in the same way as Isaac Asimov's I Robot or Frank Herbert's Destination Void. We don't use the comparison lightly. Steven James' provocative and landmark book reeks of becoming a classic. Simply outstanding.' 'Synapse is a thoroughly audacious thriller that weaves both science and religion into its suspenseful plot. Steven James explores one of the most fascinating questions of our technological age - can a robot have a soul? - and answers it brilliantly.'
