Synopsis

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.
