Publisher Description
What if being a hero was encoded in your genes?
And nobody told you?
Casmir Dabrowski would laugh if someone asked him that. After all, he had to build a robot to protect himself from bullies when he was in school.
Fortunately, life is a little better these days. He's an accomplished robotics engineer, a respected professor, and he almost never gets picked on in the lunchroom. But he's positive heroics are for other people.
Until robot assassins stride onto campus and try to kill him.
Forced to flee the work he loves and the only home he's ever known, Casmir catches the first ship into space, where he hopes to buy time to figure out who wants him dead and why. If he can't, he'll never be able to return home.
But he soon finds himself entangled with bounty hunters, mercenaries, and pirates, including the most feared criminal in the Star Kingdom: Captain Tenebris Rache.
Rache could snap his spine with one cybernetically enhanced finger, but he may be the only person with the answer Casmir desperately needs:
What in his genes is worth killing for?

Wonderful characters & action throughout
Keeps moving right along with enjoyable dialogue and action.
Well written and entertaining
I read a lot of sci-fi and enjoy most of it. This book more than most. I’m not overly fond of Serial stories, they remind me too much of TV but I am going to buy the next book of this series.
A little different story line
The story line combines the old kingdom with knights and spaceships with the main characters getting into and out of trouble only to end with a set up for the next book in the series
Have not decided if the plot is good enough to keep on reading the series
