Machine's Last Testament

To give humanity peace, the artificial intelligence Samsara will wage an eternal war . . . In a universe torn by combat, Samsara's world is the final haven that refugees will pay any price to enter. At the Selection Bureau, Suzhen Tang upholds the AI's will and grants citizenship to those deemed worthy. When she meets new arrival Ovuha, she judges Ovuha a model candidate--educated, beautiful, a perfect fit for utopia. But Ovuha carries with her the seeds of battle, and what she brings may spell apocalyptic change: the breaking of Samsara, the end of paradise . . .
