I read half way through this one and then abandon it.

So I have to admit, I'm enjoying this trilogy quite a bit, though admittedly, this is the kind of thing I'd rather experience as a movie or television series than read in a book, but that's just my readeing preferences. I feel the same way about Tobias Buckell's work, and I enjoy his stories too. Shepherd's got a solid mix of action, political intrigue, cultural discourse, and philosophical wonder in the Cassandra Kresnov books, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all ends up.

Sandy's superhuman abilities and military knowledge and skills have led her into the Tanushan Special Forces, and a command position.

Her political opponents aren't too happy about having a GI in this position, and others like her have caused a lot of Tanushan casualties.

The League, Sandy's creators, have people coming to Tanusha for political talks. All this gets pretty complicated.

So, a bit of spy work here, through an acquaintance of her friend Vanessa Rice's, Ari, who is a spy as well as a counter-culture technologist.

Plots to uncover, people to save, as Sandy tries to stay where she is, and stop people from dying.
