Full Circle: Freedom's Firewall by Alfred R. Taylor is a combination of romance, mystery, crime, and sci-fi, introducing readers to the concepts of space travel, space living and environments, androids, and other futuristic technologies. The year is 2365 and androids, who look exactly like humans with superior skills, are a part of everyday life. Living in a space environment to resemble 20th century Earth, androids have been endowed with human memories. John is one such android, created to enforce the law for his planet and the surrounding sectors. A secret is revealed to John on a routine mission in the Amalthea Sector when he finds a rogue ship, and discovers secrets that could ultimately destroy the corrupt government of Amalthea. When he is assigned to the governor's office to assist with tours and other needs, he meets a female android whom he seems to recognize deep within his memory, but it is immediately firewalled in his system and erased for the time being. What is the memory John's human side is trying to reveal about this all too familiar woman?
The author writes each scene with so much depth it is as if the reader is watching a Terminator-like sci-fi movie.
