Jesika' Angel

Ages ago an apocalypse isolated a remote world from the rest of the galaxy. Now nations and cities are re-building growing and re-discovering technology - except in a fringe area where people live happily and peacefully despite poverty. In a tiny village there a little girl named Jesika lives with her parents and Toby her mysterious companion. Toby is a big man who looks nothing like the local people. His physical attributes of strength stamina and quickness are super-human but he's also dim-witted and can barely talk. He has no memory of any time before the day when Jesika was a baby that a trader brought him to the village to work as a farm laborer. He is placid peaceful and he's no danger to anyone.. That is not until the day Jesika and her mother are assaulted by bandits. He explodes into a burst of violence and kills six armed men in the blink of an eye. Later the local people are shocked when he tells them he 'remembered' procedures for unarmed combat. How could someone with practically no IQ at all remember such a thing?. More danger threatens starting when 20 more men come looking for whoever killed their six comrades. With each emergency Toby becomes increasingly intelligent so he can protect Jesika from every peril. Clearly he is not an ordinary human.. When the fearful villagers contact the man (a prominent scientist from the capitol city) who had sent Toby to them earlier they learn a secret about his past. But there is more to his past - including a much greater secret - than anyone knows.. The men he had killed earlier were not bandits but scouts for an enemy invasion force. Jesika's homeland will soon be caught in the crossfire of two battling armies. What can her guardian angel do to save Jesika from this danger? No one not even the scientist knows either the story of his creation or the exact nature of what he is - and especially they don't understand what is about to be unleashed to protect one small child.
