23 Years on Fire: A Cassandra Kresnov Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
Cassandra Kresnov--a highly advanced hunter-killer android--returns to face down a rogue government's plot to eliminate free will.
Commander Cassandra Kresnov has her hands full. She must lead an assault against the Federation world of Pyeongwha, where a terrible sociological phenomenon has unleashed hell against the civilian population. Then she faces the threat from a portion of League space known as New Torah, in which a ruthless regime of surviving corporations are building new synthetic soldiers but taking the technology in alarming directions.
On the Torahn world of Pantala, Sandy encounters betrayal, crisis, and conspiracy on a scale previously unimaginable. Most challenging of all, she also meets three young street kids who stir emotions in her she didn't think she was capable of. Can the Federation's most lethal killer afford unexpected sentiment? What will be the cost if she is forced to choose between them and her mission, not only to her cause, but to her soul?

Part military SF, part techno-thriller, the fourth chapter in the Cassandra Kresnov series (after Killswitch) finds the cyborg soldier determined to stop a secretive planetary government from creating a new and even more inhuman army of genetically enhanced cyborg fighters. At 22, Sandy is “ancient,” regarded as a model veteran and Federation citizen on a world where religious radicals and biotech conservatives hate her and the technology that created her. As Sandy copes with fears that she’s missing the emotions of a “regular human,” she learns that the rival system, New Torah, is developing the more deadly type of military cyborg. While the Federation government drags its feet, Sandy makes connections to illicit research on the planet Pyeongwha, where the government has exploited a new technology to control the population. Sandy and her fellow vets decide it’s time to take matters into their own hands. While new readers may have trouble getting up to speed on the complex backstory, Shepherd delivers plenty of action and suspense to entertain fans of military SF.
