Staff Reviews


Noemi Vidal is a soldier of Genesis, a former colony world of Earth locked in a drawn-out war for its independence.  During a skirmish she ends up stranded on a derelict ship, where she comes across Abel – the most advanced Earth mech ever built and the only one of his kind.  Bound by his programming, Abel is drawn into Noemi’s plan to end the conflict once and for all...even at the cost of his own life.  As they journey across the stars, these two kindred souls form a bond that goes beyond mere programming.  Can Noemi still condemn Abel to death, even in the face of his emerging humanity?  And what is Abel’s true purpose?  The artful prose combined with alternating perspectives of the two immensely likeable protagonists will keep you turning the pages, all the way to the bittersweet end.

— Darcy

The humans of Genesis have fought Earth's robotic "mech" armies for decades, with no end in sight.After a surprise attack, Noemi finds herself stranded in space on an abandoned ship where she meets Abel, the most sophisticated mech prototype ever made--one who should be her enemy. But Abel's programming forces him to obey Noemi as his commander, which means he has to help her save Genesis--even though her plan to win the war will kill him.Together they embark on a daring voyage through the galaxy. Before long, Noemi begins to realize Abel may be more than a machine, and, for his part, Abel's devotion to Noemi is no longer just a matter of programming.
