Property of Nature

Más información sobre el libro

An impending death star threatens the Earth with an existential crisis. The human race attempts to migrate Earth's ecosystems to a nearby solar system aboard an interstellar ark called "Humanity." Moja, an ecogeneticist of Pandoran brilliance, genetically engineers the ark's crew and inhabitants to survive the long voyage. Shida, a psychopathic entrepreneur, uses the mission as an opportunity to conduct illegal genetic experiments on behalf of the Nature Development Company outside the constraints of legal oversight for competitive advantage and new product lines. The ecogenetic battle between Moja and Shida starts in Africa's last remaining wild park, continues in the politics and economics of the launch of the "Humanity," and plays out in the void of interstellar space. The genetically engineered people called Kijani, led by Huru, genetically engineered elephants called Tembo, led by Wingu, and hivemind robots called Guardians are the unwitting pawns of the battle aboard the ark. They fight for their right to live and become defined by more than the dreams and aspirations of Moja and humanity and the greed and ambition of Shida and the Nature Development company. PROPERTY OF NATURE is an evolutionary tale that transcends time, space, biology, sentience, and morality in a battle of biblical proportions.
