A decade in the future, humanity thrives in the absence of sickness
and disease.
We owe our good health to a humble parasite -- a genetically
engineered tapeworm developed by the pioneering SymboGen
Corporation. When implanted, the Intestinal Bodyguard worm protects
us from illness, boosts our immune system -- even secretes designer
drugs. It's been successful beyond the scientists' wildest dreams.
Now, years on, almost every human being has a SymboGen tapeworm
living within them.
But these parasites are getting restless. They want their own lives
. . . and will do anything to get them.
