What if you discover your life doesn’t belong to you?
Forced to give up your dreams. Live a life you never chose.
Because you and your DNA belong to the government.

What if the government stole your memories?
Parsed out your family and friends?
How would it feel to live life in the third person?

Private Peter Mitchell, one of thousands of recycled, cloned soldiers, holds the front lines of a
deep space war. To save a world he’s never seen before. He survives because of a memory
replacement chip (MRC) that parses out anything that stops him from killing the enemy.

But Peter isn’t like the other recombinants. He doesn’t want to fight or kill. He wants to
live. Marred by deep sensitivity and self-reflection, he is failing his training sims. Endangering his
entire unit.

As the Antarans push closer to Earth, Hardware Reclamation Specialist, Dr. Jeannette Kingston
discovers a catastrophic failure in the recombinant tech, affecting batches of
recombinants. She must make a brutal decision:

Report the defect and destroy hundreds of recombinants— including Peter Mitchell.
Or say nothing and risk destroying her home world.
