The line between man and machine has been crossed....
And there is no turning back.
A serial killer stalks the city of the future....
Hunting the scientists who build the robots....
And it's up to a cop and an AI to unravel a terrible conspiracy.
The world is still reeling from the devastation of the Omega Virus and struggling to rebuild. A growing android workforce has given rise to the Human Defense League and anti-AI sentiment is at an all-time high.
Adam, the first of the new X-3000 models, arrives into this hostile world. Field-tested on the Luna colonies, now assigned to Earth, Adam is paired with homicide detective Jane Malveaux, who has little patience for synthetics.
Before long both Malveaux and Adam must cast aside their differences and join forces to solve a case that will test both man and machine.

Silicon Dawn is a delightful mix of Blade Runner-esque storytelling and murder mystery elements that combine to make one addicting story! It's fast paced, fantastically written, and poses a ton of questions about what it means to be alive and to have humanity. All AI stories generally pose those questions at some point, but Silicone Dawn stands out among the AI stories I've read and seen simply because it offers us a fresh perspective; that of an AI. We get to spend time in Adam's head as he navigates new social situations and a world where AI's are not entirely welcome. It's really something to be able to experience those moments of learning and adapting that we normally see from an outside point of view; not only does it give depth to the story itself, but it also help build connections between the reader and the AI involved. I love a good mystery, especially when it keeps me guessing and catches me off guard, and that is exactly what Silicon Dawn did. I also love that it’s not some simple who-dun-it where the mystery is all tied up neatly and the characters are essentially back at a clean slate, but instead a mystery that leaves a lot hanging in the balance despite being solved because things like this have lasting impressions. Initially I was a little afraid of the length. Nearly 4 hours just doesn't seem like enough time for a full story to occur and I've experienced a quite a few pointless prequels, but all of that was unfounded. Not only did we get a full and complete story, but it provided some great insight into the characters that will appear in the main books and also laid some pretty detailed groundwork in the world building department.
Joe Hempel, our narrator, did a wonderful job! He has excellent pacing, which is a must when you have someone who likes to switch up the reading speeds. If the pacing is off then you end up with chipmunks on the fast end or a huge bout of impatience at the normal speed, and Joe has no such issues. He really adds a little extra kick to the already solid writing with his attention to the voices, emotions, and inflections.
A fantastic story with an equally fantastic narrator means that I am super excited to be able to add the rest of this series to my TBR pile!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
yea. I would. It's a solid story and I have a few friends that like science fiction.What about Joe Hempel’s performance did you like?
I think he did a great job. I look forward to listening to some of his other performances.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yea, it's a fast moving story that catches your attention. It's not long either so it's very much a story you can go through in one sitting.Any additional comments?
I definitely sense the echoes of Issac Asimov with Silicon Dawn. If I were to describe it I would say Issac Asimov meets classic mystery. The writing is solid and the narration is great. If you like science fiction you'll enjoy it. It has all the makings of solid story with no dull moments that I could remember.Issac Asimov meets classic mystery

This is a interesting book on so many levels, but beside the obvious this book is full of action, suspense and twists. Some you might see coming but others you won't see coming, but either way this book will have you reading or if you are lucky enough listening past your bedtime to see what happens next. The audio narrated by the very talented Joe Hempel is awesome he brings the story to life while listening he makes each character individual in your brain and the world they live in so vivid it is amazing, you won't be disappointed in either format you choose.
