Abandoned machines lie rusting, useless without fuel. Humanity faces extinction as recombinant DNA runs rampant. Who can save this future world? The principal? The brilliant leader who strives to keep man from sliding back into savagery. The religious cultists? The anti-science fanatics. The garden? The community of women scientists who live like warrior-nuns as they search for genetic answers. Or does the future lie with Zach and Evvy, the fierce but gentle courier and the woman-child he has been sent to procure for his sadistic brother's delight? Can their love bring hope to the world again?
