Utopia has been achieved. For centuries, disease, hunger, poverty, and war
have been things found only in the histories. And applied genetics has given men
and women the bodies of athletes and a lifespan of over a century. They should
all have been very happy. But Hamilton Felix is bored. And he is the culmination
of a star line; each of his last thirty ancestors chosen for superior genes.
Hamilton is, as far as genetics can produce one, the ultimate man. And this
ultimate man can see no reason why the human race should survive, and has no
intention of continuing the pointless comedy. However, Hamilton's life is about
to become less boring. A secret cabal of revolutionaries who find utopia not
just boring, but desperately in need of leaders who know just What Needs to be
Done, are planning to revolt and put themselves in charge!
