I thoroughly enjoyed this glimpse into a possible future for humanity. Seventeen year old Zoe is a genetically altered person (a GAP) whose life span far exceeds those of normals living outside an exclusive community reserved for the wealthy and influential. She knows little beyond the scope of her environment in Sol City and the science that continually upgrades her lifestyle until her life takes an unexpected twist when her brother Liam disappears. Fearing foul play she decides to investigate with the help of Noah, a normal, the son of a renown minister killed for his belief that genetic manipulation was abnormal. From different backgrounds and with separate convictions the pair wade through the mystery, the dark secrets and political intrigue that surround the death of her brother. It is a fascinating tale that demonstrates future perceptions about faith - religion versus science and technology, class structure, and the erosion of mankind's humanity. I highly recommend this novel and look forward to the next segment in the series.
