This is a great and complex story. Mankind has been hunted down and exterminated by a vastly superior and numerous race of aliens, except on one hidden away planet. There they have lived with minimal technology, betting that the Aliens cant find them if there is no electronic signature. To keep this condition stable, the founders of the colony made it a religion. Mankind has lived for hundreds of generations practicing the religion and keeping the faith. After a certain number of years, as programmed, the main character awakes, only to discover that she is a synthetic human with the memories of a woman that has been dead for 1000 years.....After watching the planet using her hidden advanced technology tools and equipment, the hero becomes a Man to help "shape" the planet toward a future that will allow them to re-take the Universe.

As the proven guards man for one of the planets most honorable and sea going royal Princes, the action starts getting quick and complicated as the hero turns this planet on its head.

Great book, The second one is alsocant wait for book three.
