Two different series, the first series was about a woman in the human empire/federation's space military. She trained to be able to release adrenaline on command, among other monkish techniques. I think in the third book she wakes up from cryosleep and meets her granddaughter, possibly great granddaughter. There are aliens, the only ones I can remember were named something like Wern? They could shapeshift and their natural form was sort of like an amoeba blob of killing stuff (if you've read them you know what I'm talking about)
The second series was also set in space, and humans had split themselves into a few factions. One faction against human augmentation, another faction infusing themselves with nanomachines. The main character was one of those with nanomachines in her, increasing perception and thinking times by a ridiculous amount. A race of semi-intelligent machines travels the galaxy destroying life when it becomes too intelligent (to help prevent a larger disaster later). I remember there being some humans that had been spliced with pigs? They weren't the brightest.
Any help would be appreciated
