Blurb: “ORIGINAL SIN
Piers Rameau, a brilliant geneticist, was offered the chance to help design mankind's replacement-Original Man, a smarter, stronger, swifter race based on manipulated human DNA. But Rameau refused and chose to follow his own path.
Now Kuno Gunnarsson, creator of Original Man and Rameau's would-be employer, is dead—but his superior creation lives on. And one faction of Original Man is determined to wrest control of the galaxy from the inferior race. A brutal attack destroys both Rameau's home planet and the satellite that has become his world. One tragic casualty is Dakini, a fragile, genetically altered dancer who had become Rameau's reason to live.
The sole survivor, he finds himself a prisoner of Gunnarsson Prime, a clone of the original creator, on board the jumpship Langstaff. Against his will, Rameau is enlisted as the ship's wartime medical officer. As a doctor, he swore an oath to do no harm. As a man, he swears blood vengeance on the inhuman killers who destroyed everything he ever loved..”
