What truly defines a human? What defines loyalty? If it acts like a duck, quacks like a duck, yadda yadda? In Diabolic, a really good science fiction in a long time, we meet a creature that looks somewhat human but is imprinted onto someone to protect at any cost. And so we follow the diabolic, Nemesis, who befriends Sidonia, a senator's daughter. The Senator has some wacko ideas of learning science, math, etc., and so the emperor and his deranged nephew decide to get back and bring Sidonia on board (space ships, sci-fi, remember?) as a bargaining point. But, sci fi as it is, allows people to change the way they look and so Nemesis goes under the guise of Sidonia. And then it gets even better. But I won't tell you how since it's got lots of action, a couple of predictable twists, but still a good book.
