This is coincidental rather than deliberate, as I love space operas such as Star Wars and The Expanse on film and TV. I love science fiction, but somehow have managed to only really read dystopian or apocalyptic sub-genre sci-fi. When I received this book as a gift, I was really excited to read it. Each step brings them closer – both to each other and to the terrible decision Noemi will have to make about her world’s fate, and Abel’s. Stranded together in space, they go on a whirlwind adventure through Earth’s various colony worlds, alongside the countless Vagabonds who have given up planetary life altogether and sail forever between the stars. If she destroys him, is it murder? And can a cold-blooded murder be redeemed by the protection of a world? Noemi begins to realise that if Abel is less than human, he is more than a machine. More than that, he has begun to develop emotions, a personality and even dreams. He’s a unique prototype, one with greater intelligence, skill and strength than any other. Abel is bound by his programming to obey her – even though her plan could result in his destruction. When Noemi meets Abel, one of Earth’s robotic mech warriors, she realizes that Abel himself may provide the key to Genesis’ salvation. But the citizens of Genesis are rising up – they know that Earth’s settlers will only destroy this planet the way they destroyed their own. Noemi is a young and fearless soldier of Genesis, a colony planet of a dying Earth. Publishing Info: April 2017 by Hot Key Books (first published 2017)
