Science Fiction
Plagued by overpopulation, disease, and starvation, humanity
was headed for extinction—until an alien race called the
haan arrived. And then the real trouble began. It’s been a
rough day for Sam Shao. As part of a program that requires
humans to act as surrogates to haan infants, Sam has been
genetically enhanced to bond with them. So when three
soldiers invade her apartment and arrest her guardian for
smuggling a dangerous weapon into the country, Sam can sense
that something isn’t right. One of his abductors is a haan
masquerading as a human, and the supposedly fragile haan
seems to be anything but. Racing through the city slums,
trying to stay one step ahead of the mysterious haan
soldier, Sam tries to find the man who, in her twenty years,
has been the only father she’s ever known. Could he truly
have done what he is accused of? Or did he witness something
both human and haan would kill to keep hidden? The only
thing certain is that the weapon is real—and lost now
somewhere in a city of millions. Fighting the clock, Sam
finds an ally in Nix, a haan envoy devoted to coexisting
with humans, or so it seems. But what she really needs are
answers. Fast. Or else everything she knows—and everyone she
loves—will burn.
