A devastating war for supremacy between human clones and breeding humans seems unavoidable, and the clones have the mental and physical advantage. The one who could save us from extinction is a teenage boy named Felix, a clone so different from everyone else, as to be the first of a truly new human race. He was given experimental DNA enhancements by his creator, Dr. Victor Darwin, which are brought to the test when a clone-hunting militia attempts to massacre his entire tribe. Clones use powerful, synthetic pheromones to make drones of politicians, lawyers and cops for protection, but Felix makes them in his own body to attract and control people. He is smart, big hearted and playful. He can also be a "bad-ass" if you challenge him. Felix fights to find a place to belong in the world, but only gets murderous hatred in return. He struggles with the ethics of using his special powers, and enjoys the love of his clone family, but finds a moral compass and comes of-age through his intimate relationship with Will, an exceptionally gifted non-clone without the benefit of DNA enhancements.
