Orbital Burn

Lou, an unlicensed private investigator who is clinically dead but functions because of tiny internal machines, is asked by Dog, the former pet of a rich family who augmented his canine brain with all kinds of gadgets, to find Kid, a defective android, or "disposable," who has disappeared. Lou's internal technology is wearing out, and she hasn't the funds to replace it. The planet she and the others are on is about to get hit by a chunk of stuff from space. Yet, even as the end approaches, there are still villains and skullduggery to be dealt with.
