They represent a new generation of genetically tailored individuals, created to help build a brighter future. But some effects of Dr. Florida&’s work were unforeseen—and these children will soon discover the shocking truth about the new world they stand to inherit . . . &“Very similar to some of the better works of John Varley.&” —Science Fiction Chronicle
