Superego

the long version

Can a genetically engineered psychopath grow a conscience, get the girl, and save the galaxy? The experimental program that gave Rico the high intelligence and lightning reflexes he needs as a hit man for a galactic crime syndicate left him incapable of internalizing moral imperatives everyone one else takes for granted. When he accidentally thwarts a terrorist attack and has to pose as a visiting cop from a faraway world, he partners with a local female cop and soon realizes he has fallen in love. This author's debut novel is a combination of action, romance and moral philosophy.
