Blood & Oil: a Science Fantasy (The Isra Saga) (Volume 1) M. A. Leibfritz 1st edition

In a galaxy of advanced technology and dark magic, two paths cross, not for the first time. The Commonwealth, a robot haven, has acquired a problem. Diplomatic relations with Jonson's Point, a backwater human colony, have stalled. A lone holdout, Velia Jonson, stands in the way of a mutually beneficial tech contract. Lacking options, but with ulterior motives, the Commonwealth sends Seti 639, an unorthodox and frustrated individual whose reward for success is the return of missing memory files detailing his past. It seems a simple task, but even simple things are never easy, and Velia Jonson has secrets of her own. While dark truths lurk in the shadows, and no one is what they seem, forgotten things carry consequences, the past doesn't stay buried, and those who deal with devils often pay with their soul.
