Blown to Smithereens

Silph Marron, an actress, travels to a planet to create a theatre company. With her security expert friend, Leah Erafallt, she comes in under the radar in an illegal spaceship. They have a secret purpose: they're resistance fighters notorious for their destructive capacity. They want to overthrow the authoritarian government who collaborates with the disturbing, and little understood, robots that control the solar system.

Silph soon learns that their spaceship, after a hard landing, has taken serious damage. She and Leah become a center of attention in the city, and become besieged by an array of spies, detectives, conspiracy nuts and groupies. When assassins begin to appear in the ranks of their followers, and the robot rulers send a strike team, Silph opens hasty negotiations with a Chinese crimelord.

Leah will encounter the general who murdered a hundred of her comrades ten years ago, and while she will take her revenge his motives will shake her convictions. Silph will close a deal with the crimelord, possibly make things worse or delay the inevitable. Lurking in orbit, the robot Controllers, led by Commander Worochre, plan to capture the women and rid the system of the "infection", ghosts taking root in Silph's consciousness.

Apocalyptic, psychological and merciless, Blown to Smithereens is the first book of four about Silph Marron, Leah Erafallt and hundreds of thousands of robots.
