About this listen

Cassandra Kresnov is a highly advanced hunter-killer android. She has escaped the League and fled to Callay, a member of the Federation. Because of her fighting skills she was able to save the president's life and is now a trusted member of the security forces. However, not all Tanushans are happy to have her on their turf and Cassandra has to tread carefully. As Callay moves towards a vote on whether to break away from the Federation, confusion reigns and terrorist groups plot their own agendas.

Cassandra becomes involved with two young troubleshooters for the secret service and finds out more than she ever wanted to know about the Tanushan underground and those on the fringes. Furthermore, there is a delegation from the League in Tanusha, and Cassandra is not sure that they won't try to take her back.

Breakaway is a great story with a cracking plot and strong characters. At its heart is the enigma of Cassandra: Is she more human than human, or is she totally untrustworthy?

Great concept. Boring in too many places. Poor narration and editing produced far too many distractions. End of the road for me.

Let down by poor narration and editing.

This book is a good example of writing cyborg combat well, which is apparently hard to do.

Good book.

Exciting start, very promising, excellent action scenes, interspersed with hours, literally hours of political waffle. Truly sleep inducing. Good idea spoiled.

Nodding off material

1st book kept you booked, 2nd installment was nothing like the 1st in that it tried to be more political and should be kept true to the 1st book and utilised the captivating main character more.

Poor 2nd instalment.
