Two men, one face. One man seeks to embrace
destiny, the other to escape it.
Danyael Sabre spent sixteen years clawing out of
the ruins of his childhood and finally has everything he wanted--a career, a
home, and a trusted friend. To hold on to them, he keeps his head down and
plays by the rules. An alpha empath, he is powerful in a world transformed by
the Genetic Revolution, yet his experience has taught him to avoid attention.
When the perfect human being, Galahad, escapes
from Pioneer Laboratories, the illusory peace between humans and their
derivatives--the in vitros, clones, and mutants--collapses into social
upheaval. The abominations, deformed and distorted mirrors of humanity, created
unintentionally in Pioneer Lab's search for perfection, descend upon Washington , D.C.
Although the genetic future of the human race
pivots on Galahad, Danyael does not feel compelled to get involved and risk his
cover of anonymity, until he finds out that the perfect human being looks just
like him.
Excerpt:
On another Friday night, she might have been out at a
Georgetown bar, accepting drinks from attractive men and allowing them to
delude themselves into imagining that they might be the lucky one to take her
home.
Tonight, she had work to do.
The hem of the white lab coat brushed about her legs as she
strode toward the double doors that barred entry to the western wing. No one
paid her any attention. Scientists and lab technicians scurried past her,
nodding at her with absent-minded politeness. On Friday evening, with the weekend
beckoning, no one thought about security.
Where men faltered, technology kept going.
The corridor seemed endlessly long, and the security cameras
that pivoted on their ceiling-mounted frames bore into her back. She knew that
her image likely featured on one or more of the many monitors at the security
desk, but a combination of training and nerves of steel steadied her. She
resisted the urge to twitch or to hurry her pace.
Each step brought
her closer to an ominously glowing red eye on the security panel beside the
door. Undeterred, she waved her badge over the panel. Moments later, the
security panel flashed to green and a heavy lock slid back. Another small
triumph. It usually took a series of them to make a victory.
She lowered her head, ostensibly to look down at the tablet
in her hand. Her long, dark hair fell forward, concealing the lower half of her
face from the security camera as she walked through the open door. “Entering
the western wing,” she murmured, trusting the concealed microphone to pick up
on her whisper.
“Good luck,” Carlos’s voice responded through the tiny
earpiece inserted in her right ear. “All’s clear out here.”
“I’m really glad the security pass I programmed for you
actually worked,” Xin added, a whimsical tone in her voice.
Zara was glad, too. She had a solid plan. Two of her finest
associates backed her up—Carlos Sanchez waiting in the car concealed off road
outside Pioneer Labs, and Mu Xin poised in front of a computer in her
Alexandria home—but she could come up with a list of a half-dozen things that
could still go wrong.

Wonderful Sci-Fi thriller. Exceptionally built characters in a non-stop action story. I love the idea of "perfection" and the philosophy of humanity. The writing is clever and very visual. This is just the beginning of the series and I am looking forward to reading the rest.
