About this listen

In 2068, androids are an integrated part of human life. Big Brother no longer just watches from the shadows. It's in every household.

Lloyd Salter has OCD issues with noise and mess, and he's uncomfortable with human interaction. When his ex claimed the only thing perfect enough to live up to his standards was an android, Lloyd dismissed it. But two years later, after much self-assessment, he thinks he may have been right.

SATinc is the largest manufacturer of androids in Australia, including the Fully Compatible Units known as an A-Class 10. Their latest design is the Synthetic Human Android UNit, otherwise known as SHAUN. Shaun is compatible to Lloyd's every need; the perfect fit on an intellectual and physical basis.

But Lloyd soon realizes Shaun's not like other A-Class androids. He learns. He adapts. Sure that SATinc is aware Shaun functions outside of his programmed parameters, Lloyd must find a way to keep Shaun safe. No one can know how special Shaun is. No one can know he's evolved.

Contains mature themes.

Clever beautiful love story in a plausible imagined near future. Shaun is the superstar: one in multiple billion. He's the most advanced Android built but his x factors are Lloyd, his human, atnd Shaun's witty nerdy adorable beingness. Singularity occurs - synthetic emotions become real ones. The plot is beautifully paced, sexy and poignant in turns. Lloyd comes alive every bit as much as Shaun. Without doubt my favourite go-to book, in fact in this Time of Covid it is my mental health saver. Quite outstanding narration as always by the singularly superb Joel. It is a sci-fi biook. It also touches on ethics, morality, Mobby Dick, and what it is to be human. Cleverly it raises modern questions about the machines we make but as much through the prism of the needs of a lonely ocd intelligent human. There is unconditional love here too. Superb.

Outstanding

Great sci-fi story. Thought provoking. Highly erotic & deeply sensual. Nervous narration truly painful and distracting at the start though the narrator's performance of other characters was extremely good. Well worth the perseverance.

A surprise well worth perseverance

I don't usually listen to sci-fi or fantasy but: I've listened to several other books by the author and I really appreciate the way they write characters who are neuro diverse or introverted without being weak or irritating. The plot goes a bit crazy (a lot crazy) and you have to allow yourself to get swept up in the romance but here I am crying at 2am over a man and his robot love 😂 So, 5⭐ because all the elements add up to something much better than its flaws. 🤖

very cute!

I often enjoy N.R. Walker books, but this one was even better. Unfortunately I listened to it all in one go because I couldn’t stop which meant I didn’t go to sleep until 3am ..work will be tough today!! Definitely recommend it!

If you liked this book give SPECTR: The Complete First Series (books 1-6) by Jordan L. Hawk a go. Not the same set up as this story, but it’s an unusual relationship and I got absorbed in that book too.

Wow - that was great!

The combination of N R Walker and Joel Leslie inspired me to download this book even though the subject wasn't my usual thing. Oh my goodness I am so glad I did. This has to be my book of the year.
A concept that has no doubt been covered before - an artificially intelligent Android becoming self aware, made for a touching, heartwarming, heartbreaking, beautiful love story.
Walker just gets it right, whilst Leslie brings the whole thing to life in my head as though I'm watching a film.
If you are a N R Walker fan but are a little unsure of the subject matter just go with your heart and download it. You will not be sorry. This is an audio book I can listen to again and again.

Beautiful love story

This is not your normal MM romance, but despite being in a dystopian setting it is still a story of love and acceptance.
I couldn’t help falling in love with both Lloyd and Shaun.
NR Walker expertly takes you on a journey of emotions through the characters and although this is a Sci-Fi story set in the not too distant future, it’s not too far out of the realms of believability.
Joel Leslie is one of my top 3 narrators and I couldn’t think of anyone better to have narrated this audiobook.
He was Pluperfect! Lol

I want a Shaun!

With the robotics getting far ahead of anything we know today love can develop for a lonely gay man and a sentient robot. Beautifully written as we have come to expect fron N R Walker and narrated by N R Walker's favourite narrator.

A beautiful love affair
