“The dialogue is effortlessly swift and clever, and even the B-movie climax is a spectacle to behold. Above that, though, Ray sparks to live, and his antiheroic slant only makes him that much more compelling and sympathetic.”\u00a0\u2014 NPR<\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/i>Unlike anything I\u2019ve ever read\u2014a weird and wonderful voice and we are lucky to have it.“<\/i>\u2014 Chuck Wendig,\u00a0New York Times <\/i>bestselling author\u00a0of Star Wars:\u00a0Aftermath<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Classic noir and robots are a perfect match. Part Chandler, part Asimov, and part Philip K. Dick,\u00a0Made to Kill<\/i>\u00a0is a rip-roaring cocktail of smart, sharp, twisty, cyber-pulp awesomeness.”\u2014 Adam Sternbaugh, author of\u00a0Shovel Ready<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

“The book I didn’t know I was waiting for – a high-voltage jolt to the pleasure circuits that had me burning through the pages. Terrific fun!”\u00a0\u2014 Daryl Gregory, author of Spoonbenders<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Humor, action, and heart: everything I’ve come to expect from an Adam Christopher book, and then some. A marvelous read!”\u00a0\u2014 <\/i>Jason M. Hough, New York Times<\/i>\u00a0bestselling author of\u00a0Zero World<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Hits hard, spins your head around, and leaves you stunned. So freakin\u2019 perfect you\u2019d think robot hitmen and retro supercomputers had always been part of noir fiction.\u201d\u2014 Peter Clines, New York Times bestselling author of\u00a0Paradox Bound<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

I ONLY KILLED HIM ONCE<\/h2>\n

“Gripping, funny, deadly and suspenseful.”

When a tall man in a black hat arrives in the offices of the Electromatic Detective Agency the next day, Ray has a suspicion he has met this stranger before, although Ray\u2019s computerized boss, Ada, is not saying a thing. But their visitor isn\u2019t here to hire Ray for a job\u2014he\u2019s here to deliver a stark warning.<\/p>\n
