Short description

Desmond Park offered the colonists of New California freedom from the constraints of human evolution, but freedom was the last thing the colony's new governor and Chinese overseers would allow their subjects to have.

Extended description

New California was a wild and beautiful planet, settled by wealthy refugees from post-World War III America. So why did its founder commit suicide?

Desmond Park's answer to that question leads him to share with disaffected young colonists a philosophy of freedom from the constraints of human evolution. But his philosophy of freedom will be opposed by Ashwin George, the colony's new governor, as well as Tián Quán, the Chinese company monopolizing transport to and defense of the colony. Beset by external foes, an ambitious subordinate, and the temptations from leading a mass movement, Desmond's only hope lies in winning a powerful, unlikely ally.
