Amazon Reviewer #1

Imagine a world where all disease is curable, severed limbs can be regrown, failing organs can be rebuilt, and wrinkles and signs of aging can be reversed all due to the creation of artificial stem cells called biomites. They can also change
physical appearance, boost intelligence, control weight, and other things. Sounds wonderful doesn't it? But biomites have a dark side as well. The story of Nix, Cali, and Marcus is a chilling portrayal of how this type of discovery could affect society. Suspenseful and believable, the story brought fourth numerous ethical issues. Think of George Orwell's "1984," the movie "Logan's Run," "Robocop," and also the holocaust.
Could this actually occur? Read the book and decide for yourself.

Amazon Reviewer #2

Any book that keeps me up late at night to keep reading is A-ok with me- I devoured this over a two-day period. I felt connected to the characters, the plot kept me glued to the page, and the twisty ending was something I really did not see coming. Just the right amount of crazy technology to be futuristic, but not outlandishly out there.

Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a good sci-fi read!

Halfskin is science fiction. This novel is about a process that goes beyond modern medicine. A process that has the potential to change mankind forever, if mankind will let it. This book is $2.99 for the kindle. Free for Amazon prime members.

Biomites are artificial stem cells that can be injected into a human body to help heal injuries, even catastrophic injuries. Biomites can also be used to enhance humans, and that scares some people. There are biomite laws that make it illegal for any human to be composed of more than 50% biomites. Since biomites continue to replace normal human cells as time goes on, everyone will eventually reach that level. When someone cross the 50% threshold they become a halfskin. At that point their biomites are deactivated. Of course, what's left of the human dies.

Nix Richards was in an auto accident when he was five. His parents died, but Nix was saved by biomites. Nix was treated so young that at 18 he's fast approaching that 50% threshold.

Nix's sister Cali Richards is a biomite engineer. Cali makes it her personal crusade to find a way to keep Nix alive. She's very good at her job, but is she that good?

This story something that makes it great. It has a villain who you find yourself yelling at, even though it's a book. Marcus Anderson is chief of the Biomite Oversight Committee. He hides behind his religious zeal, as he looks forward to deactivating halfskins. Evil often hides behind the cloak of religion. Marcus is evil. Can Nix and Cali beat Marcus? He has the full weight of the federal government behind him. It will be close.

I loved this book. It's only February, but this is my favorite novel of the year so far. Very highly recommended.
