Summary
A damsel in distress. A dangerous dame. A metric ton of coffee.
Private investigator Frank Harken’s worldwide fame has only made him more cynical. And living in a giant mall covering the entire USA only serves to drive him nuts on a daily basis. So, when a femme fatale barges in asking Harken to track down her sister, he knows when he’s heard an offer too good to be true.
Puzzled by the sudden arrival of Arjay, a sentient coffee-making robot he never ordered, Frank shrugs and rolls with the caffeinated punches. But as the intrepid duo dig deeper into the missing dame’s disappearance, they uncover a deadly plot that could take down the best part of a society gone bananas.
Can the world-weary PI and his barista-bot foil the dastardly scheme to rob Americans of their entertainment?
The Great American Deception is a sci-fi comedy satire. If you like quirky characters, cultural mashups, and original wordplay, then you’ll love Scott Stein’s futuristic send-up. Buy The Great American Deception to brew up a laugh-out-loud mystery today!

Great sci-fi comedy
I enjoyed this book very much.
I'm not typically one for sci-fi, but this caught my eye and I gave it a go. I listened to the whole 7 hours in one sitting.
The writing is good, but can drag during descriptive parts, but given the perspective, I think that makes sense. It's an enjoyable world with an interesting take on a not-so-distant future. The characters are likable and have a endearing charm to them which makes me want to hear the sort of adventures they undertake following this one.
The performance is excellent, with consistent and distinct voices for characters, ensuring you are never left wondering who spoke that last piece of dialogue. It is read clearly at a comfortable pace with good enunciation.
I feel like this would be a great story for children. I don't remember there being any strong language and aside from a few innuendo which would most likely go over their heads, there is nothing which is overtly adult-oriented about the book.
I truly enjoyed this and hope to hear more from both author and narrator in the future.
