CHiPR

From the author of: Bass Metal, Cloudfighters, and FemarineWhen a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide a New Guard for their future security.Romo Tang awoke from her nap suddenly, disturbed by the silence. She was to learn in rapid succession that her friend was dead and military men were coming to get her. An anonymous voice on her private phone was advising her to hide.Zhi Ruo Chen's daughter was such a genetic mess when she was born that she was doomed to die, but Doctor Chen was not about to permit that. She not only fixed her daughter's problems, she enhanced her in every way she could, using whatever genes from whatever species would best serve her.Her mom vanished long ago, and Romo is almost an adult. The only hope she has left is to find the handful of others like her, and join with them to resist the abuses and usurpations planned by the government, with every gene at her disposal.Welcome to the New Guard.
