Forgotten Children (Degrees of Freedom)

By Anne Cleasby

Population levels in the Eurasian Alliance are strictly controlled, with every birth requiring a license. Vivika and Lyssa are the same age - thirty-five - but that is all they have in common. Vivika is a mid-level corporate drone, while Lyssa is consort to a high-level citizen. Vivika will never have children. A medical check shows she has old scarring from a previous birth. Lyssa wakes every night, disturbed by dreams of loss. Neither of them remembers much about their eighteenth year. When Lyssa's husband asks an investigator to delve into his partner's past, the results are devastating. The investigation leads to the exposure of illegal research, violation of population laws, and serious human rights abuse. Eventually it leads to murder. What happened eighteen years ago? Who is trying to hide the past? And how far are they willing to go to keep their secrets?
