Grown in a lab and programmed from birth, Taur has escaped and is searching for his brothers and sisters. When Theseus Aegia Athenia needs a distraction from a lost lover, he takes the job of hunting down Taur for the money but quickly realizes that "no limits on collateral damage" means he will likely wind up dead as well. Now Theseus and Taur are on the run together, hoping to find Taur's siblings and taking refuge where they can. Sometimes that refuge is with each other, but both know that love cannot be a part of it. Their only chance is to discover the Labyrinth, which could hold the answers to everything Taur needs to survive. But time is not on their side as they try to evade Taur's keepers before his kill chip detonates.
VERDICT Moraine (Line and Orbit) delivers gritty sf wrapped in Greek mythology references. Sex scenes and violence are interspersed with true emotional introspection by the characters, making for a well-balanced romance.
