Cadet: Worldshard (The Sunder Shard Chronicles #1)

Welcome to the Sunder, we've got fun and games!

Three thousand years after the Endwar, humanity has dragged itself back from the brink of extinction with grit, determination and the might of the Champions. Robotic avatars of their city-states, Champions are fusions of the most advanced technology and a heroic human soul, designed to withstand the mutagenic dangers of the Sunder.

For the imperialistic, warmongering nation of Korvosa, Champions are apex weapon and propaganda tool all in one. The only problem is their latest Champion, Vengeful Crystallline Hawk 45C, has the soul of a diehard patriot loyal to one of the smaller nations Korvosa conquered two centuries ago. With the body of a bombshell supermodel crossed with walking tank and a head full of democratic ideals, Cee could be the ultimate threat to Korvosa or their ultimate prize.

Torn between past and future, Cee would be in trouble. If she wasn't an ass-kicking, super-strong, beamsword-slinging, sexy as sin Champion...

Mixing space opera, steampunk and science fantasy, Cadet is the 50,000 word first volume of the Worldshard trilogy. Rated '5/5 - Explicit and plentiful' for steam/spice/heat level.
