Help A Guy Out

Brass needs your help in recalling the title and/or authour of a book he read years ago. Here's his description:

The book is about the Second American Revolution and takes place around the year 2076, the tricentennial. The hero is a female with exceptional martial arts abilities and the bad guys are the U.N. The U.N. forces feature cyborgs among other sci-fi goodness. Just for good measure, the author throws in an alien that had been stuck in suspended animation (via time dialation) for a very long time, if I remember correctly it was his race that started the human race on Earth. After reading the previous the book sounds really hokey, but it was actually put together very well. I read it about 3 times between 10 and 12 years ago and I think it had over 600 pages.

I don't know, but some details sound vaguely like Daniel Keyes Moran's books.

He did a series called The Continuing Time series, that started with Emerald Eyes, and continued with The Long Run and The Last Dancer, among others.

You can find a bibliography of his published works at his website.

Was she actually a test-tube person or something and joined a group marriage? But then it turns out she's fully human? If so, I read it recently and it was pretty dumb.

"The Last Dancer" is the one. Thanks Phil, I've been trying to find that one for about a year now. I had no idea that it was part of a series.

Thank you, Ith, for posting.
