Halton was a humanoid fabricant, created to serve as a bodyguard in the Middle East. Fay was as an all-too-human correspondent, assigned to deliver him to a country from which she had barely escaped with her sanity. She didn't know it was a setup...until it was too late. And the only one she could trust -- the only one who hadn't betrayed her -- was the android himself.

Looking for the Mahdi
Up to p.89 - shaping up to something like Silver Metal Lover with William Gibson speed.
Enjoyed the ride ~ this was the author's first book and I felt it sagged in some places under the weight of narrative about the politics of Khuruchabja that some decent editing would have streamlined. Khuruchabja is a fictional place in the near future in the middle east and the author's use of too many references to politics in our recent decade seem forced.
I see that previous readers have taken it to be a statement about global politics and women's rights, BUT I see it more as a metaphor about loyalty and what is human? And who do humans remain loyal to?
John, a humanoid fabricant at first is loyal to who ever legally owns him. Later he becomes loyal to Kay Bee although confused and damaged and finally unique. Like humans.
