Life here is easy--for the rarified and privileged few. The aristocrats enjoy a powerful cybernetic technology that extends their life spans and ensures their prosperity. Those who serve them suffer under a heavy hand. But within this ruthless society are agents of hope and change. In a secret underwater laboratory, a separatist cult has created a threat to the aristocracy. The Primes are highly intelligent, manipulative products of genetic engineering, designed to lead a rebellion. Enabling their mission are the Proxies, the Primes' bodyguards and lifelong companions bound to their service. When the cult's hideout is attacked, Proxies Nandipa and Hondo rush to the rescue. As they emerge with their Primes onto the surface, however, everything they'd been led to believe about their world is shattered. Nandipa and Hondo will risk it all to honor their oath of absolute loyalty. But when the very people they're tasked to protect turn on each other, the Proxies must decide between those they were built to serve and the freedom to carve out their own destinies. And the fate of their planet may rest in their choice. --Back cover. 650 0 $a Space warfare $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Space colonies $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Genetic engineering $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cyborgs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cults $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Loyalty oaths $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Imaginary wars and battles $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230819010147.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AF9C478E3E5511EE9D75128132ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
