Science Fiction
An SF thriller examining the repercussions of
rejuvenation and cloning on individuals' sense of identity
and on wider society. Caitlin Hext's first shedding ceremony is imminent, but
she's far from prepared to produce a Snakeskin clone. When
her Skin fails to turn to dust as expected, she must decide
whether she wishes the newcomer alive or dead. Worse still, it transpires that the Hext family may be of
central importance to the survival of Charmers, a group of
people with the inexplicable power to produce duplicates
every seven years and, in the process, rejuvenate. In
parallel with reporter Gerry Chafik and government aide
Russell Handler, Caitlin must prevent the Great British
Prosperity Party from establishing a corrupt new world order. Snakeskins is an SF thriller examining the repercussions of
rejuvenation and cloning on individuals' sense of identity
and on wider society, with the tone of classic John Wyndham
stories and the multi-strand storytelling style of modern TV
series such as Channel 4's Humans.
