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?

OK. Uma nova aventura com caçadores de recompensas, mercenários (que poderiam ser considerados piratas), professores docemente desajeitados que por acaso são muito espertos e armas biológicas geneticamente modificadas que não farão nenhum favor a ninguém a longo prazo.

E o mistério de por que Casmir Dabrowski (nosso já mencionado professor docemente desajeitado) é de repente o homem que todos querem colocar as mãos é ... bem, temos algumas respostas, mas certamente não todas. Sim, o mistério de Casmir ainda está vivo e chutando e algumas camadas extras de intriga foram adicionadas a ele quando ele ficou cara a cara com Tenebris Rache.

Eu gosto da tripulação (Capitão Laser ... ou devemos chamá-la de Bonita? E de Qin, seu músculo geneticamente construído. Ah, e Viggo, a nave que já foi humana e que REALMENTE gosta de limpar) e as dicas que foram dadas como para quem e o que eles podem estar inadvertidamente emaranhados me fazem querer ler o próximo livro.

Outro começo sólido para o que parece ser uma série divertida e complexa, cheia de intrigas e perigos
