En savoir plus sur le livre
In 1972, scientists discover a method to combine cells from different species. Initially, they create hybrid plants, such as protein-rich wheat and a new type of tobacco. However, the research escalates as they begin merging human and animal cells. Most of these hybrids are infertile, but the combination of human and lion cells results in a new species called Leos, capable of reproduction. The "Union of Social Engineering" views the Leos as a growing threat, leading to their confinement in reservations and eventual authorization for extermination. Yet, the lion-humans possess sentience, and one of them, Painter, refuses to accept this fate without a fight. The story explores themes of identity, the ethics of genetic manipulation, and the struggle for survival in a world that sees them as abominations.
