Review: Hundreds of years in the future, human exploration and colonization of space has expanded far beyond the limits of our own solar system, and continues to expand, but what dangers lie beyond our sphere? Solar Security hires "needler" Livia Morgan to build autonomous cybernetic patrolmen code-named "Morgan Constructs" to guard the perimeter. They are designed to be extremely intelligent and well-armed. They are also murderous and insane, and they have escaped. It falls to Solar Security to recruit, train, and deploy pursuit teams consisting of one human, one Angel, one Tinker, and one Pipe-Rilla to find the Morgan Constructs and do the unthinkable: Destroy the sentient, intelligent Constructs at all costs.

Note: Sheffield also did a somewhat different re-telling of this story as "The Mind Pool."

Summary: An awesome book deserving to be reprinted
Review: I found this book at a out of print book sale. i put off reading it but found it one day. It totally shocked me. I was expecting some dainty "sci-fi" novel that avoided all contreversy and toes, but what i found was a gut wrenching novel where the seemingly "bad guy" was NOT always bad. The characters had depth and the plot was very intertaining.
