_Crossover_, Joel Shepherd
_Blindsight_, Peter Watts

_Crossover_ is an android soldier thriller with a Big Background. Neatly avoided most of the cliches. Good story, some wish-fulfillment, but then, who doesn't want to be a highly sexed supergymnastic superstrong semindestructible android on the run from the military that created her, all alone on a wealthy high-tech planet? There will preumably be more, as this is subtitled _A Cassandra Kresnov Novel_ yet this is his first published novel and it was written in 1999...

Watts seems to be specializing in high-biotech hard science settings with massively damaged, or at least different, psyches. Recommended for <lj user=jenwrites> - it's not quite horror, but it's certainly horrific.
