Description
High school genius and sociopath Vince Nilsson is obsessed with Melissa Price. So when she rejects him after a few dates, he devises the perfect plan—manipulate her genes to make an even better version of her . . . one who’s more receptive to him. Of course, he’ll have to kill the real Melissa first. But is it really murder if the person still exists?
As he continues to “perfect” Melissa, he realizes he can change the world, one gene at a time. Before long, Vince is an underground celebrity, and his company, Emergence, Inc., is in high demand with spouses wishing to replace their better halves with improved clones and parents desiring healthy children.
But the pursuit of perfection has ramifications. Now, decades later, when a body mysteriously shows up at young Leo Oaks’ door, it’s up to him and his girlfriend, Sara Hawking, to unravel the enigmas of a new world where authenticity is ambiguous and no one is who they seem. As the two grow closer, they begin to discover secrets about their own pasts. And just how entwined their lives are with Emergence, Inc. . . .
A thought-provoking and vividly imagined techno-thriller set in the not-so-distant future, Bodies examines the price of idealism in this riveting page-turner.
For fans of Quentin Tarantino and Stephen King.
