Cassandra Kresnov Series Vol.1

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.
