Have you ever wondered why humans behave the way we do? Why are we so territorial and aggressive? What if it wasn't just about evolution?65 million years ago… An advanced species threatened by a rebel faction develop a bioweapon to protect their way of life. Designed to be immortal, Elfinnim have created short-lived life forms that are deadly and territorial, yet vulnerable to termination on a whim. A prototype weapon - a female from a species they have designated Human, indistinguishable from Elfinnim - has escaped the project, with the fearsome prospect that their weapon is thinking for itself and jeopardising the success of the project. Warrior caste investigator Hal Balal is sent by the Elfinnim Grand Council to track down the rogue bioweapon and discover if there is a plot that puts the safety of all Elfinnim at risk. How did the weapon escape and what are its aims? Why doesn't it respond to commands as programmed? Is it a lone rogue, or is there an Elfinnim traitor bent on bringing down society to satisfy their own thirst for power? Can Hal find the weapon before it is turned against the Elfinnim empire?
