Publisher's Synopsis

Can Dreams Come True? The UN Resolution of 2026 allows transhumanists to turn their dreams into reality, giving legal status and protection to mixed-species humans. Dr Louise Dalton, fresh from Oxford University, is head-hunted for a dream job at Icilda Biotech Company (IBC), enabling her to fulfil her ambition to eradicate disease by crossing human DNA with other species. Louise is overseen by Dr Karl Winwood, an ambitious eminent scientist, who harbours his own personal dream of pioneering new frontiers in science, desperate to overcome the technical barriers that hinder progress. Mixed-species humans are only the first phase of his plans … Both united by a common vision.Undergirding IBC's business plan is the prophetic sight of Karthik Kothaka, a visionary whose higher wisdom is directing the course of IBC and the Light, a think tank who dreams of a scientific utopia, along the lines of Plato's vision. Karthik's seeing is under the guidance of a spiritual entity known as The Teacher, who directs his protégé on a hidden path, leading toward human perfection via evolution. What Happens When Dreams Comes True? The hidden cost of realising dreams will take everyone by surprise. For some dreamers, the path is set and cannot be altered; those who discover the truth will have to take drastic action - a change of direction, a revolutionary movement. Everyone's beliefs will be challenged, their very foundation of existence. On Wednesday 8th May 2030, IBC reveals the first mixed-species humans to the world; the Living Doll Project moving from dream to reality. Can a Dream Become a Nightmare? Science, business, and vision entwined in a cord that is not easily broken. Where will it lead? Watch the adventure unfold; see through the eyes of the dreamers.
