You know when you read a book a long time ago and never got to finish the series but can't remember it's name? I've tried whatsthatbook.com but got no replies. Driving me crazy so here is everything I can remember in the hope that someone here knows what it's called:

- It's science fiction and part of a series
- Features a planet/star (definitely something spherical) on the front cover with a background of space
- Involves space travel on ships
- Involves genetic engineering and brain washing of warriors who are raised from birth to be the perfect fighters. I'm not sure but I think the protagonist infiltrates and pretends to be one of them or one of them is not working according to the genetic modification program and has a 'mind of his own'.
- Citizens also choose to modify themselves so that, for example, some have wings. There are some religious overtones to some groups of people who modify themselves.
- The protagonist has memory loss or something wrong with him.
- The thing I'm most sure about is that there is this artificial computer life form searching the universe for the creator.
- I think this book was released sometime between 1990-2009

Hope you can help.

Could be one of Charles Sheffield's books such as Sight of Proteus or one of the follow ups

Just checked them out and no, I don't think it's any of those. Thanks for the suggestion though, keep them coming...

Have you tried Anne Macaffrey series, there is a series about ships and space travel.


good luck find your books

It could be the Cyber Chronicles by TC Southwell. The points you have plotted sound alot like book 6 in the series. http://www.tcsouthwellbooks.com/warrior_breed.htm
