Description
|
|
|
|
Forty years into the future, a powerful and ruthless political party known as the Conglomerates has emerged, in this debut novel. Dr. Christine Salter, a hospital director in New York, is in charge of "genetic contouring," the science of producing the ideal child. But Christine is troubled by the strange disappearance of Gabriel Cruz, a co-worker for whom she has a developing affection, and the fact that her latest assignment—making the Conglomerate chairman more youthful through genetic engineering—is proving to be an especially dangerous task.
