Alpha: a female android who seems to possess a conscience¾so much so that her execution is delayed. Big mistake. Now on the run, and with her former captor as hostage, Alpha moves to activate a long dormant master-plan ¾ a plan that may well include the end of humanity and the violent transformation of the world as we know it!

Ratings and reviews

interesting 2-book series, but not up to Asaro's usual depth. the issues are real, demand more careful attention than she gives them...

Very solid and enjoyable read.
