"Excellent romantic science fiction"
For three centuries, Dora was a compliant sentient
computer performing her duties without question that is
until she met that transplanted twenty-first century
heroine Tessa Camen, who befriends her like no one has
before. Through the CHALLENGE of being Tessa's pal, Dora
meets other people like Kahn and Rystani Captain Zical. Dora falls in love with Zical and wants what Tessa and
Kahn have. She observes that Zical spends steamy nights
of sexual encounters with a holistic female that she wants
to replace. She constructs a duplicate body to the one
Zical spends his nights with and creates a new sentient
computer to replace her at the helm. Next Dora moves her
essence into the new human body she developed. However,
plans of mice and computers often go astray as Zical
rejects her unable to adjust to her not being a thing and
haunted by his failure to save the life of his mate. When
Zical accidentally triggers The Sentinel, ancient machines
that were to protect the galaxy, he starts what could be
pandemic devastation. With Dora at his side, he leads a
counterforce with no hope except her love. Dora makes quite and adjustment from secondary character
to lead female protagonists, but Susan Kearney makes the
adjustment seem so effortlessly even with the added
conversion from critical intelligence to human
intelligence. The action-packed story line never slows
down once Dora decides to accept the CHALLENGE of love and
never slows down as she and her beloved along with their
allies battle to save the galaxy. The future of the
Kearney Universe looks like it is in brilliant hands as
the audience can expect more twenty-fourth romantic
science fiction adventures. Harriet Klausner
