Synopsis

National bestselling author William C. Dietz returns with Andromeda McKee, a woman who rebuilt her life in the violent embrace of the Legion of the Damned in the days when cyborgs were first being introduced...

In a different world, Lady Catherine “Cat” Carletto would never have left her pampered life behind. But when Princess Ophelia became Empress Ophelia in a coup that claimed the lives of the princess’s brother and all who supported him, including the Carletto family, Cat had to hide—or die.

She became Legionnaire Andromeda McKee, and now she’s a battle-scarred veteran who knows how to kill. And when she’s summoned to Earth to receive the Imperial Order of Merit from the Empress herself, Andromeda realizes that the moment is coming when her revenge will be at hand...

Review:

“Filled with intrigue, danger, and page-turning battle sequences.”—SF Signal

“Andromeda McKee is one hell of a heroine. Dietz is a rarity among male science fiction authors: He can write a steely, badass female protagonist without making her seem unreasonably stoic...If you don’t root for ‘the Steel Bitch,’ I just don’t know what to do with you.”—RT Book Reviews

Praise for Andromeda’s Fall:

“[Andromeda’s Fall features] a likeable protagonist, a ruthless villain, and enough surprises and pounding action to propel the reader forward.”—SF Signal

“Full of action and suspense.”—Elitist Book Reviews
