Twelve "perfect" humans. One nuclear reset button. And a choice that could end humanity for good.
Atom has only been alive for thirty days, but he already knows the weight of the world. As a "Genesys"-an enhanced human designed to survive the upcoming apocalypse-his DNA is the blueprint for a new civilization. He and his counterpart, Ev, are the crown jewels of a scientific cabal determined to burn the old world down to make room for the new.
But perfection is a lie.
When a brutal attack by "Outsiders" leaves Atom's life in the hands of a defective clone named 80, his loyalty begins to fracture. 80 doesn't have Atom's enhanced strength or groomed intellect, but he has something the scientists forgot to program: a soul.
As the countdown to the nuclear "System Reset" accelerates, Atom is forced to choose. Will he be the god the scientists created him to be, ruling over the ashes of the billions left behind? Or will he risk his own evolution to save the very "failing system" he was built to replace?
The apocalypse isn't coming. It's being manufactured.
