Erotica lovers will enjoy this twist and Sci-fi fans get all the futuristic ballyhoo that they love too. Sex Surrogates that are grown in labs are sentient beings whose only purpose is to live for 3 days to service a human. This takes the Cherry-2000 to all whole other level. The androids die after their brief therapy sessions with their human, you see they are bred/built to be physically and sexually compatible to a specific human. The therapy is covered by insurance as a legitimate way to stave off the malaise of depression and anxiety of working in their high-tech environments.As with any people that are treated as virtual slaves, as expendables, there is a movement afoot. A movement to give the androids their freedom and the right to life that is not controlled and deleted at the behest of the government. Daniel Nash has created a believable future and interesting characters. You quickly get involved with the plight of the sexbots and before long your emotions will be tugged as if you were watching a Hallmark movie. The ending will surprise you and that is all I can say without giving it away.There are some graphic sex scenes but don't let that deter you from buying one of the greatest new Sci-fi books on the market today. You will not mind the sex so much since it is integral to the storyline anyway.
