YA
What's left of society wanders space on a fleet of economically stratified starships. To save her family from poverty, Aisha Un-Haad sells her body to become a Scela, a robotic soldier with metallic exoskeleton (think Battlestar Galactica's Cylons); once-privileged Key Tanaka doesn't remember why she became a Scela. This female-centric space thriller is richly developed, particularly the descriptions of how the Scela feel robot parts work with their human bodies.
