In 2079, the future isn't manufactured. It’s harvested. But the most dangerous mutations are the ones you can’t see.
The Age of Genetics is Here. Silicon is a relic of the past. In 2079, genetic engineering is the master science, and GeneTech is its god. As the wealthiest corporation in history, they have moved beyond machines to create a world of living infrastructure. Skyscrapers that are grown from living tissue. Laborers engineered from the DNA of primates and cephalopods.
A Tip That Changes Everything. When investigative reporter Amadé Bertrand receives a cryptic holomessage about "bad business" at GeneTech, she expects a routine corporate scandal. What she finds is Whitfield Gray. An executive with an influence so profound he literally erases suspicion. Whitfield is GeneTech's most lethal asset, and its most haunted secret.
The Evolution of a Lie. Following a trail of redacted data and deleted memories, Amadé uncovers a conspiracy that spans generations. A clandestine evolutionary shift is already underway, promising to save the human race by fundamentally rewriting what it means to be human.
Between Truth and Tomorrow. From the biologically built spires of San Francisco to the blood-soaked orchards of the Central Valley, Amadé is ensnared in a web of engineered trust and secret bloodlines. Now, she faces an impossible choice. Fulfill her duty to a world that deserves the truth or protect a man whose terrifying vision might be the only thing standing between humanity and a biological apocalypse.
R.A. Finlayson spent nearly two decades in Silicon Valley at the forefront of technological innovation. His career working with the region’s most disruptive companies fueled a deep interest in how rapid technological advancement reshapes society, culture and the human experience. While exploring the intersection of biology and biochemistry, Finlayson became fascinated by the science of genetic engineering. Inspired by the emergence of gene-editing tools like CRISPR, he now explores the provocative question of what it means to be human in an age when our own evolution is no longer left to chance.
