Challenge of fate

Hunted and desperate, Abel has only one important mission left: to save Naomi Vidal's life. To do so, he must not only escape the powers of Genesis, but also confront the one person in the galaxy who still has the power to destroy him. Burton Mansfield's consciousness still lives on, yearning for a home, and Naomi's body is his last bargaining chip. Alone in the universe. Brought back from the brink of death, Naomi Vidal finds that Naomi not only saved her life, but transformed her into something else, something greater. No longer fully robotic, but fully human, Naomi must find her place in a unique universe, while striving to create a world where anyone—even a machine—can be free.

The final battle between Earth and the colony planets is here, and Earth will spare no effort to maintain its dominance over all of humanity. But together, the most advanced machines in the universe, and the first human-machine hybrid, may have the power to change the galaxy forever.
