Synopsis

Susan Kearney returns to the universe of The Challenge, this time following the adventures of Dora. In the first book, Dora was the sentient computer who is almost like family to the protagonists. Now, Dora-whose computer mind is that of a capricious teenager, except with access to all of the information ever put onto disk-wants a body. She wants to be human. She wants to experience feelings, not just catalogue them. And she wants to kiss Zical, desperately. She transfers her computer mind into the body that she believes Zical would find attractive-but she's still only sixteen. And now she has to figure out how to work her clumsy human limbs, how to walk without falling over, and how to deal with the strange ache in her chest. It doesn't help that she and Zical are stranded on a strange new planet (and she wasn't sup- posed to have followed him!), and they don't have the use of their psychic powers...

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

All Dora wants is to be the woman he loves . . .

All Zical wants is to complete his mission . . .

All the enemy wants is total annihilation . . .

Blocked by the limitations of her computer hardware, Dora has used only her smarts, her humor, and her sinfully sexy voice to intrigue Rystani warrior-pilot Zical. In order to experience human sexuality-and consummate her love for him-she builds the perfect female body to inhabit. Being human is more difficult and more wonderful than Dora expected. She didn't expect the sensation of touch to alter her emotions. Nor did she expect chocolate to taste so good. Or love to be so complicated.

But for a Rystani star pilot, accepting Dora as a crew woman, never mind a lover, is downright confusing. Even if Zical considered Dora fully human-which he doesn't-his tragic past has made him swear off falling in love. But as Dora's increasingly human allure becomes hard to resist, a threat to the solar system sends them on a dangerous mission to the very edge of the galaxy.

As Dora explores the full extent of what it means to love, can Zical's sense of honor and his proud adherence to Rystani customs ever let him give his heart to a woman who created herself only for him? And as their enemies turn deadly, Dora and Zical must overcome their pasts . . . if they hope to fight for all of their futures.
