In the twenty fourth century, a scientific experiment gave a few species the gift of intelligence, and after much struggle, they’ve carved out a place in society. By the thirtieth century, humans find themselves co-existing, negotiating, and residing on Earth with these animals as equals. Maya Lawton is a lonely prostitute living in this world. She gives birth to the first halfkinds, creatures who are half animal-kind, and half mankind. Since interspecies breeding is illegal, she is forced into seclusion and raises them alone. Then one day, without warning, she dies, and her death leads to their discovery. Abandoned and lost, this family of halfkinds plan to escape to a terraformed moon. But the law is after them. The order is to kill, sent by the highest authority, the United Species Alliance. No library descriptions found. |

Who would have thought that a novel written about crossbreed animal – humans could have been so entertaining, acceptable and enjoyable? You just get drawn in to each and every character and can hardly wait to see what is going to happen next. And believe me when I say there is plenty of action. You will never find a dull moment and surprisingly you will find yourself rooting for these creatures as they face their many trials and hardships.
I rather enjoyed this style of writing with the narrative of the story from the first-person point of view. It enabled me to see it from both sides of the story and gave me a more in-depth detail of the story.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and can hardly wait to dig in to the next installment.
