Freya Nakamachi-47 has some major existential issues. She's the
perfect concubine, designed to please her human masters - hardwired
to become aroused at the mere sight of a human male. There's just
one problem: she came off the production line a year after the
human species went extinct. Whatever else she may be, Freya
Nakamachi-47 is gloriously obsolete. What's more, the rigid social
hierarchy that has risen in the 200 years since the last human
died, places beings such as Freya very near the bottom. So when she
has a run-in on Venus with a murderous aristocrat, she needs
passage off-world in a hurry - and can't be too fussy about how she
pays her way. But if Venus was a frying pan, Mercury is the fire -
and soon she's going to be running for her life. Because the job
she's taken as a courier has drawn her to the attention of powerful
and dangerous people, and they don't just want the package she's
carrying. They want her soul ...
