Cassandra Kresnov is not a human being. Or is she?
Two rival factions of spacefaring humanity - the League, small and progressive, and the Federation, larger and more conservative - are at war. The League's advances in biotechnology frightened the Federation into taking up arms, to prevent human beings being buried beneath a tide of synthetic technology. The League's GIs are purpose-built soldiers, inflexible fighting androids - Cassandra (Sandy) is a special, experimental model. She has a personality and mental flexibility; an ability to learn. She is not controllable as the older GIs.
Unfortunately, Sandy is captured by the Federation and their Intelligence Agency wants to use her for research despite the fact that she is not an unfeeling robot. Rescued by the Federation's domestic Security Agency, she is in need of medical attention.
Although Sandy is mistrusted by many, her skills are unmatchable and when she saves the life of the President, a conspiracy between Federation bio-tech corporations and the League begins to unravel . . . but who is behind it all. Can Sandy allay everyone's suspicions of her? Lieutenant Vanessa Rice, leader of a SWAT unit, becomes a friend and together they begin to make discoveries, none of which are guaranteed to gain them anyone's trust or favour.
