THE PRESERVE - ARIEL S WINTER KARTONIERT (TB)

The critically acclaimed author of the bold  innovating  and thrilling (Stephen King) novel The
Twenty-Year Death and the brilliant (Booklist  starred review) novel Barren Cove returns with a
dark and compelling mystery set in the near future. Decimated by plague  the human population
is now a minority. Robots-complex AIs almost indistinguishable from humans-are the ruling
majority. Nine months ago  in a controversial move  the robot government opened a series of
preserves  designated areas where humans can choose to live without robot interference. Now the
preserves face their first challenge: someone has been murdered. Chief of Police Jesse Laughton
on the SoCar Preserve is assigned to the case. He fears the factions that were opposed to the
preserves will use the crime as evidence that the new system does not work. As he digs for
information  robots in the outside world start turning up dead from bad drug-like programs that
may have originated on SoCar land. And when Laughton learns his murder victim was a hacker who
wrote drug-programs  it appears that the two cases might be linked. Soon  it's clear that the
entire preserve system is in danger of collapsing. Laughton's former partner  a robot named Kir
arrives to assist on the case  and they soon uncover shocking secrets revealing that life on
the preserve is not as peaceful as its human residents claim. But in order to protect
humanity's new way of life  Laughton must solve this murder before it's too late. The Preserve
is a fresh and futuristic mystery that is perfect for fans of Westworld and Blade Runner.
