In a world where natural disasters have created hardship
and social unrest, a breakthrough in medical science
brings about a ray of hope. Scientists learn how to
manipulate the DNA strands to obliterate genetic
disorders, and also to beautify. Those who can afford it
rush to correct weight problems, difficult hair, eye
color, more pleasing body shapes, and so on. Those who
can't are disgruntled until they discover these things are
covered by social medicine and available to all. The
improvements the government manages to make in living
conditions and the preoccupation with the 'new toy' calms
the waters.
Things become pleasantly peaceful once more--and then
unnervingly peaceful. Whispers begin to circulate that
people are being replaced. Lena dismisses it--at first.
When a man well known to her, an anarchist, seems to make
an abrupt 360 degree turn in his politics, though, she
becomes seriously alarmed. Nigel, her older brother, a
tech for a genetics lab, dismisses her concerns and Lena
is almost convinced--until she comes face to face with the
assassin sent to silence her.
Imprisoned, the handsome, golden haired rebel known as
Dax, may be Lena's only hope of salvation, but can she
trust that his agenda is the same as her own? For if
someone is replacing people with controllable replicas of
themselves, how can one ever be sure that anyone is who
you think they are?
