Genico produces quality Synthates, or artificial humans, and they produce cures to diseases – cures that are sold on the Genetic Stock Exchange. But when a paranoid geneticist is murdered, things at Genico start falling apart. This is where Jack Saxton, heir to Genico, Inc., has his life turned upside down when he is accused of the murder. When Synthate rebels bring him into their cause, Jack starts learning things he had no idea about, including his own past.

Even for science fiction this is hard to swallow. The writing is only so-so and the plot is half-assed. The characters fall flat and the situations that Jack finds himself in are nearly eye-rolling. Jack’s brother Phil is an asshole, but we only get a tiny part of his story so in the end his character, who could have been a great anti-hero, is just wasted. Literally wasted most of the time. Anyway, maybe others will find this a better story than I did, but in my eyes it’s only meh.
