Metallic Love
by Tanith Lee

Description:
In her now-classic tale The Silver Metal Lover, award-winning author Tanith Lee told the spellbinding story of Jane and her forbidden love for a robot named Silver. In this stunning follow-up, the legend of their tragic romance lives on. But nothing is as it was--or as it seems. . .

As an orphan growing up in the slums, Loren read her clandestine copy of Jane’s Story over and over, relishing every word. But Loren is no Jane. Savvy and street-smart, Loren could never be stirred by a man of metal, her passion never ignited by an almost-human--even one designed for pleasure.

Still, when the META corporation does the unthinkable and brings back updated versions of robots past--Loren knows she must see Silver. And just like Jane, it is love at first sight. But Silver is now Verlis. If he was perfection before, he is now like a god. Yet he is more human than his creators think--or fear. While Loren doesn’t quite trust him, she will follow her twice-born lover into a battle to control his own destiny--one that will reveal to her the most astonishing illusion of all.
