Book Description
================
This is the first novel in a series which follows the adventures of
Cassandra Kresnov, an artificial person, or android, created by the
League, one side of an interstellar war against the more powerful, conservative
Federation. Cassandra is an experimental design – more intelligent,
more creative, and far more dangerous than any that have preceded her.
But with her intellect come questions, and a moral awakening. She deserts
the League and heads incognito into the space of her former enemy, the
Federation, in search of a new life. Her chosen world is Callay, and
its enormous, decadent capital metropolis of Tanusha, where the concerns
of the war are literally and figuratively so many light years away.
But the war between the League and the Federation was ideological as
much as political, with much of that ideological dispute regarding the
very existence of artificial sentience and the rules that govern its
creation. Cassandra discovers that even in Tanusha, the powerful entities
of this bloody conflict have wound their tentacles. Many in the League
and the Federation have cause to want her dead, and Cassandra’s history,
inevitably, catches up with her. Cassandra finds herself at the mercy
of a society whose values preclude her own right even to exist. But
her presence in Tanusha reveals other fault lines, and when Federal
agents attempt to assassinate the Callayan president, she finds herself
thrust into the service of her former enemies, using her lethal skills
to attempt to protect her former enemies from forces beyond their ability
to control. As she struggles for her place and survival in a new world,
Cassandra must forge new friendships with old enemies, while attempting
to confront the most disturbing and deadly realities of her own existence.
