Hundreds of years in the future, human exploration and colonization of space has expanded far beyond the limits of our own solar system, and continues to expand, but what dangers lie beyond our sphere? Solar Security hires "needler" Livia Morgan to build autonomous cybernetic patrolmen code-named "Morgan Constructs" to guard the perimeter. They are designed to be extremely intelligent and well-armed. They are also murderous and insane, and they have escaped. It falls to Solar Security to recruit, train, and deploy pursuit teams consisting of one human, one Angel, one Tinker, and one Pipe-Rilla to find the Morgan Constructs and do the unthinkable: Destroy the sentient, intelligent Constructs at all costs.

Note: Sheffield also did a somewhat different re-telling of this story as "The Mind Pool."

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader Sep 2 2007
By Blue Tyson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
An artificial intelligence escapes its creators, and has its own plans for what it wants to do, and it seems it is happy to be violent to get them done.

A group of alien races work together, including humans, but have different political factions, with different ideas on how to deal with this. They decide to put a cross-race team together to handle it, but political infighting continues while these teams train for their mission.

One of the members of this team is a retarded young man who undergoes treatment to bring him to normal intelligence and usefulness.
