Genesis--the last hope of the human species, or the ultimate vehicle for self-destruction!

Genesis was the perfect planet to raise a new crop of exochildren, genetically bred outside the womb to meet the needs of society. As their bountiful generations grew and matured, Eve vowed never to expose them to the inhumanities and atrocities of Old Earth. But when exploration uncovered strange nonhuman creatures with abilities ripe for man's exploitation, she found greed and power a more potent motivator than anything she had taught the young colonists.

Now that jealousies, vengeance, and betrayals rock the highest echelons of her own government, can she save her people from the subversive forces that threaten to hurl them backward down a dark, spiraling abyss of old, familiar hatreds to the self-destruction that seems man's only destiny?
