Keila Jedrik is one of the two protagonists in Frank Herbert's science fiction novel The Dosadi Experiment and one of the few strong female characters in the genre. With short, bristly black hair and icy blue eyes, this human native of Dosadi was introduced creating a subtle computer flaw in the "DemoPol" which eliminated her own position as "Senior Liator" along with the jobs of 49 other human beings. This small dislodged pebble became an avalanche that led to a full scale race-war against the Gowachins who lived side-by-side with humans on the planet, a crisis she had long prepared for. Jedrik is the culmination of an eight-generation plan to break free of the God Wall enclosing Dosadi.
When the Bureau of Sabotage got wind of the existence of Dosadi and sent saboteur extraordinary Jorj X. McKie to investigate, Jedrik snatched McKie before he could fall into the hands of Dosadi's nominal ruler Broey. The novel chronicles the remarkable way they became utterly joined in body, mind, and purpose.
