Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray

3.0

Abel is a mech, and artificial life form. He is a prototype and one of a kind but he has been abandoned on a deserted spacecraft for 30 years and his intelligence has evolved. Noemi is a 17 year old soldier trying to save her friend when she enters the abandoned spacecraft and finds Abel. He is programmed to accept commands from the highest officer which in this case is Noemi and together they set off for an adventure. Abel creator wants to reclaim him and soon they are being hunted across the galaxy. There is a touch of ramance and lots of adventure.
