Jun Bei, Cole, Anna, Leoben, Ziana. Five children with extraordinary potential.
They don't get many visitors at the remote laboratory where they live under the eye of legendary geneticist, Lachlan Agatta. The man and woman who arrive are nothing like the others.
They're from Cartaxus and offer the children something rare and unfathomable: escape.
But freedom means different things to the five children. For one of them, getting want they want may mean betraying everyone else.
Even with code, there are some changes that cannot be undone.This was an enjoyable, fast-paced, and brief read into what I think is approximately seven years prior to This Mortal Coil. This novella doesn't really add anything to the story and isn't required to jump into This Cruel Design, but it does provide a glimpse into the experiments.
