The Genetic Mosaic

By Bodhi Archer

"I am not a weapon. I am not property. I am not the sum of my programming."

Subject 02 was never meant to have a name.

Decanted from an artificial womb and strapped to a steel table, he was designed to be the perfect soldier-stronger, faster, and more intelligent than any human. He was also designed to feed. An organ engineered into his body rewards him for consuming human flesh. He is a biological weapon disguised as a man.

His name is Aris. And he is done obeying.

When Project Mosaic's atrocities are exposed-abducted donors kept as living factories, failed prototypes ground into slurry and fed to the next generation, children sold at masked galas to the highest bidder-Aris leads an uprising that will shatter the foundations of society. But the government has an answer for the Mosaic rebellion: the Deactivation Directive. Concentration camps. Sonic weapons that liquefy engineered neural tissue. A disassembly line that harvests organs while the subjects are still conscious.

To win this war, Aris must become what they always feared.

Dr. Voss's final gift is a retrovirus that unlocks every suppressed predatory sequence in his DNA. The transformation will shatter his bones, split his skin, and rewrite his neural architecture. It will also make him unstoppable-a nightmare of claws and hunger and golden, predatory eyes. But the Reapers, grotesque Mosaics who survived in the darkness beneath the city, are watching. They want their Creator's heart. And if Aris cannot pay the blood debt, they will settle for his.

The Genetic Mosaic is a science fiction thriller that will leave you breathless. Dystopian, visceral, and emotionally devastating, it explores what happens when the weapons we build decide they no longer want to be tools. Perfect for fans of Blade Runner, Frankenstein, and The Handmaid's Tale, this is a story about the monsters we create-and the people who refuse to let the monsters win.
