Synopsis

For over a hundred and fifty years, the rarest and most valuable substance in the solar system has been mined from the only location where it exists in significant quantity: Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede. For all of this time, the remote mining outpost has been serviced by clone slaves who are drugged into mindlessness, and all of it has been monitored, controlled, and administered by the artificial intelligence known as Prinox.

But what happens when a failed rescue mission causes a small band of escaped clones to begin questioning their lives, their society, and their very existence? Hunted by deadly killing machines, confused and scared, these renegade slaves are about to find out-for better or worse-just what it means to be human.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Texas native George Wright Padgett is a multi-genre author who brings a unique creative perspective to speculative fiction. After beginning his writing career with children's picture books, Padgett transitioned to darker themes, establishing himself as a versatile voice in science fiction, horror, and mystery. Born in Houston and raised on a steady diet of science fiction literature and comic books, his work reflects both classic genre influences and contemporary concerns. When not crafting thought-provoking narratives, Padgett divides his time between his roles as a husband and father of two, performing as a jazz pianist, working as a graphic artist, and writing for the stage as a playwright. This multidisciplinary background infuses his fiction with rich layers of artistic sensibility and dramatic tension, creating stories that resonate on multiple levels.
