Publisher Description
For over a hundred and fifty years, the rarest and most valuable substance in the solar system has been mined from the only location where it exists in significant quantity: Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede.
For all of this time, the remote mining outpost has been serviced by clone slaves who are drugged into mindlessness, and all of it has been monitored, controlled, and administered by the artificial intelligence known as Prinox.
But what happens when a failed rescue mission causes a small band of escaped clones to begin questioning their lives, their society, and their very existence? Hunted by deadly killing machines, confused and scared, these renegade slaves are about to find out-for better or worse - just what it means to be human.
Customer Reviews
Great Hard Sci-Fi
“I think the best thing about the book is its humanity. Although most of it is set in an inhuman, inhospitable environment, dark and cold and surrounded by rock and metal, with the characters chased by robotic killing machines, I think that setting perfectly balances the story of this small group of people trying their best to survive and learning to care for one another. I really enjoyed it, and I recommend it highly.”
