AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In a distant future of Earth's galaxy, exotic castes of humanity coexist uneasily with descendants of humans who colonised the stars. Peace is often short-lived. Commander Morgan Roche of the Commonwealth of Empiresarmada delivers an AI to her superiors in Intelligence. Just before completion of this mission, she is ambushed on Sciacca's World but escapes and her survival becomes dependant on a castaway, Adoni Cane, an adept fighter without a past. Betrayed, and abandoned by those she has trusted, Roche must tread a path that forces her to question everything she has held dear. Just what powers does this AI have and does it have its own agenda? Morgan will prove to be a tough adversary and a skilled survivor.' (Publication abstract)

'In the bubble of space known as the Cogal, seven sentient races co-exist uneasily. Peace is always short lived. Commander Megan Moroney, Intelligence Officer for the New Amran Republic, is delivering an AI of unknown powers to her superiors in HighFleet. Her last port of call is the penal colony on Longmire's Planet.

'There, accompanied by the mysterious castaway, John Nine, a rebel cyborg and a powerful young mind-rider, Moroney will come to question everything she holds true. What is the relevence of a war fought three hundred years ago? And where should she place her allegiance, when even what it means to be human is cast into doubt? In the Cogal, the truth is never quite what it seems.'
