The Annunciate

More about the book

In a desperate, brutal future, a team of researchers searches for a means to eliminate the aggressive instincts that cause human conflict. So far, their only solution is the highly addictive Staze, a drug which leaves its victims lethargic and passive. Now, these scientists-turned-drugdealers roam the planets of Three Sys, manufacturing and selling Staze, while seeking a more effective end to the violence that surrounds and pursues them The lifeform called the Grubs, native to the mysterious planet Paradise, may provide the answer to their prayers. When human and Grub DNA are fused, the genetic components that encode violent human tendencies seem to vanish in the mix. Could this be the beginning of a new, nonviolent humanity? But beneath the seemingly simple, benign Grubs is a more complex, darker truth which may only be revealed by a young woman's inexplicable pregnancy.
