Wires and Nerve Volume 1

Iko is an android with human-like programming, and she is tired of feeling useless. Her best friend Cinder is now the Lunar Queen, and the peace between Earth and Luna is fragile. Rogue packs of wolf-hybrid soldiers have begun to menace that alliance, so Iko decides to act on her own.

Her target is Alpha Lysander Steele, the leader of the soldiers. Iko sets out to hunt him down. Her friends have long accepted the way she thinks and feels, but the wider world has not, and she has to face that world to get close to him.

This is a graphic novel set in the universe of the Lunar Chronicles, so it is a science fiction adventure told in pictures, with action driving the plot. It follows Iko throughout, and the chase puts her own questions under pressure: what she believes about love, about loyalty and about whether she counts as human.

Along the way Cinder, Cress, Scarlet and Winter appear, together with other members of the Rampion crew. The book is the first of two volumes, and the second is titled Gone Rogue. It suits readers already familiar with the series, as the cast and the political situation are taken as known.
