Gods of the Machines (Electronic book text)

Detective Sam Benson, a native New Yorker, is brash, opinionated and candid. Transplanted to work on Earth s first colonized planet, he envisions a relatively peaceful job. But Benson s ruthless nature might bring it to the brink of annihilation when a series of murders begins. He suspects a non-human is responsible-an android who once shared engrams with a psychopathic human. However, the detective doesn t know other non-humans once called his new world-theirs. And as Benson obsesses with making a case against the android, he is oblivious to their return and the reason why they consider machines to be their gods.
