Description: Jane is a 16-year-old misfit living in an asteroid-altered Earth of the future. Like most girls her age, true love and real happiness seem forever beyond her. Until she meets Silver. He's a robot, yes, but he looks human. To Jane, he's everything she has ever dreamed of. But those who created Silver realize that they have created not just artificial humans, but a race of gods whose very existence could threaten human history. And every last one of them must be destroyed.
Review Quotes: Praise for The Silver Metal Lover
"Deftly written, moving, funny, totally convincing...this is quite simply the best sci-fi romance I've read in ages."--Daily News, New York "Tanith Lee has another winner in The Silver Metal Lover. It's an aluminum soufflé that's both amusing and touching."
--Asimov's Science Fiction "The strengths of [The Silver Metal Lover] lie in the vivid vision of [Lee's] world--exotic and a little frightening, but quite believable....One of Lee's most fully realized creations."
--Publishers Weekly "Lee continues to distinguish herself with her ability to bring flesh and blood to the worlds of the future. For those who like emotion and feeling in their SF, The Silver Metal Lover is highly recommended."
