Recombinant

What if you discover your life doesn't belong to you?

Forced to give up your dreams and live a life you never chose.

Because you and your DNA belong to the government.



What if the government stole your memories?

Parsed out your family and friends?

How would it feel to live life in the third person?

 

Private Peter Mitchell, one of thousands of recycled, cloned soldiers holds the front lines of a deep space war. To save a world he'll never see. He survives because of a memory replacement chip (MRC) that parses out the horrors of war and anything that stops him from killing the enemy.



But Peter isn't like the other recombinants.



He doesn't want to fight or kill. He wants to live. Marred by deep sensitivity and self-reflection, he is failing his training sims. Endangering his entire unit.



As the Antarans push closer to Earth, Hardware Reclamation Specialist, Dr. Jeannette Kingston discovers a catastrophic failure in the recombinant tech, affecting entire batches of recombinants. She must make a brutal decision:



Report the defect that will destroy hundreds of recombinants, including Private Mitchell

Or say nothing and risk losing the war-and her home world.
