Charon was a ruthless criminal who created and traded in illegal robots and androids so his death benefits the world--unfortunately his android Alpha survives to bring his legacy to the world. Alpha is indistinguishable from a human woman but has superpowers--and General Thomas finds her as intriguing as she is dangerous. For she is carrying out her last orders from her maker--and Thomas finds her too human to kill. An intriguing story of robots, androids, and a touch of love evolves.
