Banished to an uninhabited planet, a handful of genetic scientists
prepare to live out eternity. Here, beyond the reach of their
accusers, theory becomes reality. Experimenting with stolen human
germ plasm, they shape mankind into races unlike anything Earth has
ever seen: the whimsical Llani metamorphs, the inventive but
rebellious Ganus, and the Rhodaru warriors with the truth sense.
Once their great test has begun, the immortal geneticists agree
never to interfere.
But like the races they invent, the scientists are human. Still,
nothing they do prepares the Llanis for the Ganu uprising 500 years
later. Queen Sivell is young, but she possesses an unerring wisdom
-- a trait rare in Llanis of any age. As she ascends to the throne,
war has already begun. Sivell's own unique parentage and her
newfound knowledge of her people's origins could bring peace to her
world -- or death to her people
"An intriguing look at bioengineering from the point of view of
the engineered" -- Gregory Benford.
