Book description
The Real Story
was just a preview to this action-packed tome . . . The Gap series
steps on the accelerator with Forbidden Knowledge
.
Beautiful cop Morn Hyland, desperate and in pain aboard Captain's Fancy
, controls her body and mind with her illegal zone implant, recreating
herself as a superbeing worthy of holding Captain Nick Succorso's
affections. Jealousy among the crew, threats of rape and ship
self-destruction, prisoner torture, and government cyborg programs keep
things moving along. Alien Amnioni seeking genetic domination over
humankind enter the scene with new technologies such as mutagens and
force-growing fetuses. Bite your fingernails while you live it all
(vicariously!) through brilliant survivor Morn and
villain-turned-conspirator Angus Thermopyle. Stephen R. Donaldson
