" What a terrific, thought-provoking story! Great characters, and a tensely-plotted tale of intrigue and betrayal, trial and redemption, not to mention ethics and the ultimate question of how we delimit humanity. Not to be missed! "

" A really interesting near future novel about artificial intelligence, humanity, machine, and combinations thereof. Catherine Asaro is a new to me author and I'm glad to have found her. "

" Light on action but interesting interaction among humans, hybrid humans, and various AIs. For more serious discussions of human and machine intelligence try The Mind's I by Hofstadter and Dennett. "

" I very much enjoyed this book! It wasn't a book I devoured in a day, but it was a great secondary read. I plan on reading Alpha next - her character was trouble waiting to happen (technically did happen) I recommend it to UF, SF readers. "

" I found the story a bit repetitive and the characters were okay. I didn't realize that this was a sequel to Sunrise Alley, but the book does stand on its own.

" Very impressive story. The characters and the world-building were amazing. Alpha was unstoppable. Now I'll have to go back and read Sunrise Alley, the first book in the series.

" Got this off the library's new books stand. Not Asaro's best book, but it was a fun read.
