About this listen
A war between humans and synthetics...
In a futuristic Tampa Bay, Skiptracer Dhata Mays and his sidekick, Lur Diaz, are on a job investigating a cheating lowlife. But after a deadly explosion and the woman who hired them disappears, nobody is safe. Suddenly, everyone is under suspicion, and the police are no longer there "to serve and to protect".
Now, it's up to Dhata to take matters into his own hands and uncover a deep-rooted plot to escalate the tension between the humans and synths. He must stop the battle before it's too late.
But is the truth too big for a small-time skiptracer to handle alone?

Story
It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job - and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

A great series
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This series is definitely an interesting combination of Blade Runner and Altered Carbon. It is unique enough, though, that it doesn't come off as a rip off. The narration is well done and has kept me very entertaining. I am definitely into this series and can't wait to continue the story.

This is great continuation to an on-going saga with interesting stories and characters that hold your attention, and make you look forward to the next book. Mr. Dragon used his unique talent to make the characters come alive and make you feel a part of the story. This is definitely worth a listen to.

The story continues. Yay!!!
If you haven't read Book Zero or Book One, go back and do yourself this one favor before you tackle this listen. You will thank me later.
This book, book two but actually book three, picks up right where the prior book ends. Dhata, the ex-cop-turned-skiptracer, is still trying to keep the peace between the humans and the synths, but forces - great big 'ole formidable forces - have aligned against him and his woman, Lur.
Dhata was more fearsome in the first books but he still manages not to get killed in this listen. This was a complete story but it leaves some wonderful story options for the next book. I can't wait.

A very good continuation of the Synth Crisis
This is a solid sequel to The Judas Cyper and another great addition to the world of Dhata Mays.
This is good addition to the Dhata Mays world. I love how the author has created a new "species", the Synths, who are more than just androids but not quite human. The next step is entirely predictable...fear, racism, violence, and a messy underworld. It is very easy to see our own world headed in this direction.
The characters are great (although maybe a little too lucky, just like any other adventure hero) and the story is nice and fast paced. I think most of the characters are developed in the first book, so may seem a little lacking if you tried to start with this second book so make sure to start at the beginning.
The narration seemed perfectly matched to the story. Voice seemed perfect for Dhata, and did a good job with all the other voices as well..

An aging detective.
It’s to bad I like the character of Dhata Mays but in this series, especially in this book he is already showing signs of aging ( body & mind ) being weaker and making foolish mistakes which he would have never done before, but that’s life and maybe it’s why the story is more believable ( reality ) unlike many other series which to keep their hero young and fit for more books they use life extension drugs, this series is actually more believable.
Performance by the narrator Trucker McDougall is perfect as usual.
I full heartedly recommend this whole series.
My honest review even so that I got this audiobook for free.
