Title: Becoming Human
Description: From the back cover:

TRAITOR, SPY, CLONE -- HE MAY BE THEIR ONLY HOPE

As a sub-human spy probe, August gathers intelligence from the inner corridors of the Harmony of Worlds' Grand Assembly.  As a confidant and lover, he reports to the Electors -- and holds their most intimate secrets.  As a clone of a traitor, his days are numbered because of flare -- a genengineered condition that always calls for termination.

Now August is thrust into an interplanetary web of passion, politics, and war.  The world of Neuland -- peopled with altered humans whom many consider less than human -- faces imminent alien attack and will be annihilated without the Harmony's help.  Only August has the knowledge to decipher the Neulanders' next desperate act.  Only he knows the high-risk stakes the Electors risk.  Only he can avert a catastrophe that could disrupt the Harmony of Worlds forever.  But first he'll have to decide what to trust -- his tarnished instincts or his growing hunger to become human.
