The Cybernetic Samurai

The Cybernetic Samurai

Tokugawa: Book 1

Victor Milán

Deep in the fortress-like headquarters of Yoshimitsu TeleCommunications, American scientist Elizabeth O'Neill had molded the circuitry of a mammoth computer into a living, thinking, feeling being - a human soul trapped in the confines of a cybernetic body.

She named her creation Tokugawa, hero of Japanese samurai lore, and educated him with all of the values of a feudal Japanese shogun.

Yet Tokugawa's powers were far greater than Elizabeth had imagined. WIth access to every computer in post-World War III's fully-automated society, he had the potential to become the ultimate spy, the perfect assassin, an invincible dictator.

Only loyalty to samurai virtues kept his attention in check - until the day when Elizabeth was taken away from him, and Tokugawa began his quest for revenge...

Tokugawa: Book 2

In The Cybernetic Samurai , a computer saved Japan from World War IV, then died, leaving behind two of its own offspring, Hidetada and Musashi.

Now Hidetada wants to take over human affairs, controlling these for mortals' own good. Musashi, however, wishes to follow the samurai precepts of her father and not abuse the power inherited by the pair. When Hidetada argues for domination, she resists and he decides to remove her; which of them will triumph?
