Caprice of Fate

Bennett, Christopher L. Caprice of Fate. Book 1 of the Tangent Knights series. 2021. Audiobook.


In the technologically advanced arcology of New Avalon, 2046, Cory Kagami, a spirited college student, clashes with her powerful mother, Morgan Herrera. Morgan, the head of Catchfire Industries, effectively governs New Avalon through her technological dominance and political influence, advocating for a strong defense against threats from parallel Earths. She develops advanced armor and weaponry for her cyborg peacekeeping force, Fireforce, in a world grappling with the disruptive influx of new ideas and technologies.

When Cory inadvertently gains access to the most sophisticated armor system, Morgan sees an opportunity to reconnect with her daughter and mold her into a hero. However, Cory, influenced by her love for Japanese tokusatsu, possesses her own distinct vision of heroism, diverging from her mother's expectations. This divergence sets the stage for conflict as Cory's independent spirit and unique perspective challenge her mother's control and the established order of New Avalon.
