Présentation de l'éditeur

Best-selling novelist and award-winning film director Robert H. Lieberman takes us to Creatoria— the city below Earth’s devastated surface. In the eight generations since the last and final war, humankind has moved closer— thanks to genetic engineering— to perfection in every way. That was what Detective Creally Leemling had been taught, even though he was only a Nearly Perfect. And he believed it— until he witnessed things no Perfect could imagine still existed. A mystery on earth’s surface leads this futuristic detective to a mind-shattering discovery, a beautiful young woman and a desperate plan to escape perfection… and survive. Publishers Weekly - "Suspenseful narrative and unusually sharp, evocative visual sense that speeds."
