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

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.
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?
