No Time for Second Thoughts

A geneticist working at the forefront of genetic cloning is confronted by the desperation of a woman to have her husband's child before his premature death. After failing every available fertility treatment, Droshky and Janson initiate the cloning of Rex to implant a genetically cloned foetus in Alexis' uterus. Zev, and Malcolm, friends of Janson, together hatch an idea to create a colony where women can incubate cloned babies. Alexis' baby is born, and many join the colony at Woomera under the trio's control, their fates inextricably linked to the cloning of genetically superior people.
The words of Nostradamus and others act as a fated guide. A fast-paced story designed to make the reader think about human development and the inevitable nature of life. By weaving ancient morality with modern day technological themes together form a story that questions the boundaries of science. A psychological narrative based on potentially devastating ramifications of human genetic cloning.
