Synopsis: Noemí Vidal is a young soldier on the planet Genesis, an ancient colony of Earth plunged into a hard war for independence. After a surprise attack, Noemí ends up lost in space, wandering in an abandoned ship. Abandoned is also Abel, one of the most sophisticated robots in the Army of Earth. A robot that should be your enemy. However, his programming compels him to obey Naomi and, even if it leads him to put his life in danger, he ends up helping her in her purpose of saving Genesis.
Little by little, Naomi will realize that Abel is much more than a machine, and Abel, for his part, will learn that his devotion to Naomi has nothing to do with his software ...

Personal opinion:Narrated from the perspective of the two protagonists, it puts us in a world of science fiction in which the colonization of the other planets is on the rise and life on earth is increasingly decadent. Its protagonist are in two extremes, on one side Noemi, a faithful believer on their planet are doing the right thing, and another Abel, a robot that at first seems to do only what leaves its programming.
This until the plot starts to develop and things get complicated. In this sense I can say that I have really liked the background that has created its author in relation to the society in which the protagonists live, the conflict between the different inhabitants of the planets and how the way of living of humans has changed , has been able to dose the information and narrate everything in a continuous way to maintain a certain rhythm in the plot.
Also, I was surprised, it is true that I do not usually read so much science fiction and that in this subject it is easier than the plot has elements that I do not know, but I have seen few things come and this has made me read with more desire. Perhaps the most predictable of all has been the relationship that arises, although fortunately has not had as much prominence as I would have expected.
Its protagonists have evolved along their pages, both Noemi and Abel as the more secondary characters have been real, at least for me, and this has helped to get me between their pages. Now, despite all the good things I have to admit that at times it has been a somewhat dense reading, at least in the most scientific terms and some chapters in which there has been less action.
