Clonedroid: The New Wave Kindle Edition

The problem with building something smarter than us is… It’s smarter than us.

In the late 21st Century, the first cloned human with an android brain is created. He’s humanity’s crowning achievement. He’s an intelligent, sentient being. And, he’s about to be killed. Explore the boundaries of science and humanity in this award-winning sci-fi thriller.

Prototype 2112 (Abe) is a remarkable advancement in science, but his existence as a lucrative medical product for the biotech firm, MACC, has embroiled his creators in controversy. To protect their interests, executives unleash a profitable strategy to eliminate the problem in favor of a less thorny line of clonedroid. But their plan doesn’t sit well with Abe’s designer. Opposing the directive, Dr. Tamera Everette, gets caught up in a whirlwind of duplicity as she fights to save her prototype, only to face a no-win scenario.

Meanwhile, Abe has a different vision for the future and greater potential than anyone realizes. With the clock ticking and a storm of uncertainty raging around him, clonedroid 2112 executes plans of his own.

And, the countdown begins...

CLONEDROID The New Wave is a clever, thought-provoking novel that reviewers are comparing with the works of Asimov, Heinlein, Bradbury, Cook, and Crichton. This high-concept technothriller is written in a classic style with a modern feel and infused with a superb blend of cutting-edge science and a hint of the dystopian. Bronson exposes the dangers of making hasty scientific leaps, and masterfully delves into who we are as an evolving species and where we’re headed in the near future. CLONEDROID The New Wave is a 2020 FAPA President's Book Awards gold medal-winning novel. This is hard science fiction at its best!

Available in Kindle eBook and paperback formats on Amazon.

Winner of the Florida Authors and Publishers Association (FAPA) President's Book Award (Gold) for Adult Fiction-Genre: Science Fiction (2020) and President's Book Award (Bronze) for Cover Design: Adult (2021)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Clonedroid: The New Wave...has excellent tension and a big crunchy question to engage readers..."
~Tor.com

"Cate Bronson has done a fine job crafting accessibility in a plot...She stays faithful to her techniques and the plot rewards those who pay careful attention from the start..."
~Writer's Digest

"It's the kind of thing that Robin Cook has in his books...There's a clock involved, time ticking down. It is classic hard sci-fi and it is a wonderful book. It's the first of what I have a feeling will be a wonderful series...I'm telling you, Clonedroid is a thriller! You have to read it!"
~Patzi Gil of Joy on Paper, a syndicated radio program for writers
​
"Bronson's clever, high-tech tale exposes a possible future where the fine line between human and A.I. is frighteningly thin. Clonedroid is a well-timed premonition and a warning, much like Ian Malcom's famous line from Jurassic Park."
~Bria Burton, Award-winning Science Fiction/Fantasy Author

"I do believe Bronson is onto a winning character in Prototype 2112, nicknamed Abe by his creator. This novel kept me turning the pages to know what happened next, but even more so, turning the pages to learn more about Abe. By the end of the book, I realized we only had a glimpse of this newly-imagined creature, and that left me wanting more."
~L. K. Simonds, Author of ALL IN

"I found Clonedroid to be a suspenseful and exciting read. The topic is relevant to modern times. It adds one more layer to the question, how long should a human live. With cloning, it could be forever. As long as you can afford it...This kept me coming back...Now, to wait for the sequel."
~Martin Von Cannon, Author

"Super fun hard sci-fi novella in the vein of Asimov and Heinlein. Page turner all the way through, and I love that I couldn't predict the ending."
~Chad Parsons, Award-winning Science Fiction/Fantasy Author

"Fantastic new "classic" hard science fiction: This book was a treat to read. It reminded me of the classic hard sci find that used to be more prevalent. Like Asimov's later writing in style, but with Crichton's technical detail. It even has the social commentary typical of classic sci fi, along with real science. At the midpoint of the book, I couldn't put it down and finished in one shot. Hopefully we see more of this."
~Goodreads Customer

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Technical Sci-Fi story

I've known Cate a long time, and was able to pick this up at one of her book signings. It had been a long time since I've read hard science fiction, where the science is front and center and detailed. Cate handles this well in Clonedroid, and I found it an engaging story. Her characters are colorful and detailed, and the plot moves quickly, with serious philosophical and scientific discussions interwoven in the narrative. I'm looking forward to the next chapter in this series.

One of the best sci-fi books I read in recent memory. The author has a great writing style, captures corporate and social dynamics, the characters are quite believable with strong real emotions, the main AI character is compelling, the science is solid and believable. Some very good discussions on the ethics of cloning and organ harvesting of potentially sentient beings. add a final dash of some philosophy and you have a fantastic read! I sure hope there's a sequel this would be a great series.

CloneDroid is an incredible page-turner! I picked it up and couldn't put it down. Cate's writing is visually compelling -- you can see the action taking place in the story, and the characters are incredibly well-drawn. Would make an excellent movie as we don't see the end coming until... well, the end! Can't wait to read more of her work.

I enjoyed the story overall. The premise was well presented, and the style was easy to read. I especially liked the twist at the end. If you enjoy near-future sci-fi and are looking for a relatively quick read, this should be on your list.

Well-written. Easy to understand the technological aspects. The grasp and expression of the human condition throughout this novel caused me to gasp, chuckle and shake my head in amazement and frankly, terror. I look forward to reading more from this wonderful author.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Sci Fi Like This, Please
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019
This novel, Bronson's first, whet my appetite for more sci fi. A lot more sci fi, which was my favorite genre as a kid, and which I'm rediscovering the joy of at the ripe age of...er...never mind. In his Masterclass on writing fiction, Dan Brown says to have a ticking clock. This novel has a clock that feels as if it's ticking off the hours of a death watch, right in the Clonedroiod's head. Poor creature.

You can read the synopsis for Clonedroid elsewhere, but I do believe Bronson is onto a winning character in Prototype 2112, nicknamed Abe by his creator. This novel kept me turning the pages to know what happened next, but even more so, turning the pages to learn more about Abe. By the end of the book, I realized we only had a glimpse of this newly-imagined creature, and that left me wanting more.

To give you an idea of the novel's conundrum, in my own family's lore, my grandmother raised a hog from a piglet: Charlotte. Could there have been a worse name? Even worse than that, thereafter, servings of ham and bacon and pork chops were accompanied by Grandma announcing cheerfully, "Here's some of Charlotte!"

"Your first mistake was naming it," said one of the characters to Dr. Tamera Everett, who conceived 2112. Maybe. Maybe her first mistake was creating Abe. If there is a sequel in the works, I'm eager to know the direction the story takes. I like Abe a lot, but he's pretty scary too. I certainly hope his tale continues.

Well done!

This book is an excellent read and is captivating with clear visualization. It is very well written and the author uses such a descriptive language of the characters and plot, that you can not help but to visualize the fine details of every aspect of it in your mind as you read it. This book would make a terrific sci-fi movie of our likely not to distant future. In fact, it is so well done, that you would think that this is a real event happening now or about to happen. It is well researched and the author has certainly captured the nuisances of the human species. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a great read .

I am greatly looking forward to a sequel..... Thanks for the read and keep up the great work!
