From Greek/Roman mythology, we know that Zeus was the king of the gods.  Well, in this instance Zeus is the leader of the man-made gods.  All of the males are named for the Greek gods and Greek Heroes.Origin is a company that has manipulated DNA in order to breed a super soldier for the military.  When the team that Sierra heads is called up to "rescue" the males that Origin has bred, she really does not know what she is in for.  She and her team head off the Antarctica, to the secret base where hundreds of genetically manipulated males are being held.  She immediately feels some sort of attraction for the defacto leader, Zeus.  Sierra and her team discover that, on the surface, these guys don't really need to be rescued.  They are almost running the facility by themselves.  But, then they discover the rest of the facility, buried beneath the layers of ice.  And the secrets that it contains.  These "gods" are imbued with real alien DNA.  And they discover that there are more of them being held at other facilities.  So they raid these facilities to rescue them.  But someone is always one step ahead of them.  And there are never as many at the facilities as their sources say.  And Sierra falls for Zeus.  Amd there are "soldiers" that did not turn out quite right, that are called Demons.  Okay, this story line sounds a lot like the story line for the New Species series.  And it really is.  Except for a few differences.One of the differences is the writing style.  It is not really polished, and there are several instances where the author slips from third person to first person.  It is a very choppy stlye, and needs a lot of polishing.  I am a real fan of Greek and Roman mythology. This could be a good series, there are some really interesting secondary characters.  But the writing needs to get a lot better before I can bring myself to buy another book.
