"A Gripping Military Thriller That Will Keep You on the Edge of Your Seat."

Genres: Science Fiction

Andromeda McKee is a fighter. On the run for her life, Cat Carletto created the persona to protect herself while she plotted revenge for the murder of her family. She joined the Legion and learned to kill, and that's a skill she'll use to protect her secret.

ANDROMEDA'S CHOICE is the follow-up to William C. Dietz's 2012 novel, Andromeda's Fall. It's also part of his larger Legion of the Damned series. The Andromeda McKee books are the first Dietz books I've read, and with ANDROMEDA'S CHOICE he's guaranteed his spot on my 'must- read authors'list.

Andromeda makes many choices in the new book. She has to choose what she's willing to do to protect her secret identity. What she's willing to risk to find her only living relative. And in a split second, she'll have to decide in what direction to take her personal rebellion. Dietz takes us inside Andromeda's head to help us understand those decisions, even the ones she doesn't fully understand herself. He also takes us into the heat of battle as Andromeda leads her squad through skirmishes and battles on a frozen alien world.

If you enjoy science fiction, I highly recommend the Andromeda McKee series. Dietz does a fine job of explaining the military terminology, so even if you're not well-versed in that lingo, you'll get it. His books are highly detailed and very visual, with strong and distinct characters. You won't be disappointed with ANDROMEDA's CHOICE.

Book Summary

Andromeda McKee rebuilt her life in the violent embrace of the Legion of the Damned in the days when cyborgs were first being introduced. Now she must choose between her conscience and her desire for vengeance...

In a different world, Lady Catherine "Cat" Carletto would never have left her pampered life behind. But when Princess Ophelia became Empress Ophelia in a coup that claimed the lives of the princess's brother and all who supported him, including the Carletto family, Cat had to hide-or die.

She became Legionnaire Andromeda McKee, and now she's a battle-scarred veteran who knows how to kill.

Summoned to Earth to receive the Imperial Order of Merit from the empress herself, Andromeda learns that she isn't the sole surviving Carletto-her uncle Rex is not only still alive but also the leader of a resistance group determined to overthrow Ophelia.

Caught up in a web of intrigue, Andromeda realizes that the moment is coming when her revenge will be at hand. But will she be able to act, or will she be betrayed by those she has come to trust?
