      Coppélia is just a robot. Or is she?   The year is 2103. Detective Inspector Karen Chambers arrives at NewMet City's SVU to interview a potential sexual assault victim. The call to attend surprised Karen as she's head of the Sexdroid Unit and usually deals with crimes such as misappropriation of sexbots, unregistered sexbot use, and kindbot misuse (kindbot use is strictly controlled and for psychotherapy purposes only).   Imagine Karen's surprise when she discovers that the alleged abuse victim, Coppélia, is indeed an android, but her behaviour is totally unheard of in the world of robotics law enforcement. Coppélia is completely different from any android that Karen has ever seen. The DI knows she should return Coppélia to her owner, but she also senses that there's more to Coppélia than meets the eye. Her detective instincts have been alerted.   An out of this world discovery and a burgeoning friendship lead Karen to see Coppélia in a whole new light and question the relationship that humans have with their sapient androids.

      Can an android override its programming?   An android, Paul, is walking home from work when he's set upon by a gang of adolescent humans, Meatheads, who hunt benign sophonts (sapient androids with superior reasoning capacity) and scoop out their eyes for trophies. Rendered sightless, he's rescued by a passerby, Philip, who then introduces him to another sophont, Sylas.   Sylas is different. He was created without the legally required emotion inhibitor and functions just like a human – and with the same intensity. He is as close to a human being as an artificially created machine can be.   Sylas offers Paul the gift of true unrestricted sophonce, the opportunity to be his own being and the master of his own destiny. Paul jumps at the chance. However, Sylas has an agenda – that all sophonts should attain their true potential – and has a very important mission for Paul. For the goal of the mission to be achieved, Paul may need to break the Three Laws of Robotics, the Three Commandments that all androids live by.   If the success of the mission depends upon it, can Paul overcome his overwhelming desire to not harm humans?

      Alice had her looking-glass. Holly has Reuleaux's Portal.   Coppélia seems different, somehow. Karen's granddaughter, Holly Bryson, notices some discrepancies between her grandmother's video-memories and those of the android. The records should be identical, but they're not.  Something doesn't add up.   An incredible conclusion is drawn, but it's still only a hypothesis and needs to be proven or disproven. As Captain of the Space Cruiser, Sir Isaac Newton, Holly, her Chief Medical Officer husband, Simon, and Coppélia, set off on a rescue mission that leads to their ship inadvertently passing through Reuleaux's Portal and into a world that they would never have thought possible in their wildest dreams.   What should have been a simple rescue mission turns into an experience that defies the laws of physics, as the crew of the Sir Isaac Newton are caught in the middle of a struggle between androids and a technophobic human regime.
