Opis

In a small college town in Middle America, the passion in men's hearts has something evil, something good brewing. The sequence of events here within these pages takes place about a decade into the future. Call it a science future story. It involves undying love, murder, greed and good old American ingenuity. Some let destiny shape their lives. Others shape the destiny of the World where everyone else reside. Dr. Karl Limbaugh, University Chancellor, Hospital Administrator and now Mayor of Charlotte Town, had just taken another step in his quest for control of his space. While he was standing at the podium claiming electoral victory and feeling ever more powerful, his euphoria was broken. As his speech was coming to a close, a beautiful woman, one of his patients, made her way towards the exit of the auditorium. His eyes couldn't help but follow as lust filled his heart. She, like other University Faculty had done her obligation by attending the gala for a few minutes and yes, she was also a Professor. But on this night Miss Hewes was rocking to an old grove playing in her ears. Professor and head of Mimic Polymorphic Genetic Engineering, Dr. Christopher Andrews has a thing for fellow Professor Angela G. Hewes. His is the science of genetically engineering a recombinant substrate, a fast growing mushroom/jellyfish/kelp hybrid, which is induced to mimic the physical attributes of other living organisms. Miss. Hewes teaches and studies the genetics and mechanics of the physical brain and its four major brain wave components and their sub sets. Her focus is on emotions, desires and thoughts, specializing in understanding and mapping the transmission and reception of minute internal kinetic waves, recording and broadcasting them in seventy-six dimensions. In short, she is out to capture an individual human soul on disc in all of its full color. The two lovers have recently collaborated in the science of manipulating biological growth patterns on a molecular scale via bathing them in a high resolution focused analog energy matrix. While he's getting there, Angela is head over heels in love with Christopher, true love, overwhelming at times and it scares her to death. Enter Jessica Reinhart, former student and freshly hired Summer Quarter Intern Professor. She had a major crush on Christopher when she was his student lab assistant. Her field involves Phased Chronological Total DNA Swapping in a living specimen. The combined breakthroughs of these three Professors could make it possible for the first time to do fast track cloning that would produce a copy of a fully adult human being, with 100% accurate imprinting of their personality, knowledge, skills and all physical attributes- in only nine days. These would not be twins but true copies. The potential financial gains are limitless. The Professors view their work first as medical benefits for mankind relative to quick organ replacement. The potential also includes the growing of anything from organic computers to whole cities via genetic engendering. Of course in the hands of the wrong individuals, the creation of monsters is not out of the question. Governments around the World agree to a Cloning Protocol to control this new Technology. But with all human endeavors things tend to go astray of the beaten trail. Greed is a mighty powerful motivator. The Military is interested. Unheard of numbers of trained and ready to fight armies could be produced in days. The owner of the rights to these patents will become the riches individuals on the planet, fame and fortune beyond anything in history. This could change everything. The first clones are produced under unusual circumstances following murders and espionage. The cloning process is compromised resulting potential psychosis in a clone specimen. More blood is spilled as serial murders are uncovered. It is said that love conquers all. There may not be enough love to fix what is broken. Then it gets worse. Larry Inel
