Broken Bonds - A Genetic Engineering Science Fiction Novel

In 2170, a catastrophic accident at Genetica Protect's research facility altered the course of human evolution. The experimental Uteroprotect treatment, once celebrated as a cure for prenatal disease, produced an unintended effect: children born with golden eyes who would never age. To the public they were "immortals." To governments, they were a threat. Decades later, a global pandemic devastates the mortal population-yet the gold-eyes remain untouched. Fear hardens into hostility, and the Northern Alliance rises to consolidate control over the survivors. Alix Troyer, a first-generation gold-eye and genetic counselor, has lived cautiously in the shadow of his inheritance. But when his father, a former Genetica lab technician, makes a deathbed confession, Alix learns of a long-buried cover-up surrounding the original accident. His search for the truth places him in direct conflict with the Alliance-and with his own nephew, now an ambitious commander with a personal vendetta against immortals. On a remote island, seventeen-year-old ward Riva Dorn has grown up under the constant oversight of mechanical caretakers.
