{"product_id":"colony-of-clones-megan-egglestone-9781035854790","title":"Colony of Clones","description":"Colony of Clones, the second book in an evocative sci-fi trilogy, explores the perilous politics bubbling up in an experimental community of human clones. \u003cbr\u003eRex and Dago, cloned from iconic historical figures, grapple for control over their fledgling settlement isolated from the outside world. Brilliant outcast Ator, cloned from Galileo, challenges the colony's questionable doctrine before being banished by its authoritarian leader. \u003cbr\u003eThe clones, copied from the bone shards of 'genetically superior' personages, grow up ingrained with a heightened sense of superiority, entitlement and independence. But as clones based on long-dead people struggle to find identity and purpose, fissures split wide open and they find themselves navigating a world that is anything but certain. \u003cbr\u003eWhen visitor Jake is brought to the secretive colony by the increasingly paranoid Dago, he bears uneasy witness to the psychological distress catalysed by experimental human cloning devoid of ethics. Dago's own sister Mary grapples to break free from the trauma of being a clone caught out of time. \u003cbr\u003eProbing the devastating ramifications of playing god in a lab, Colony of Clones examines human cloning through an absorbing character-driven narrative full of intrigue, thought experiments, and moral complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan Egglestone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1035854791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781035854790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.67d","brand":"Megan Egglestone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45331992215807,"sku":"9781035854790","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09bd03dd-954f-4ab0-8f34-a7e447cfa3f9.jpg?v=1713971446","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/colony-of-clones-megan-egglestone-9781035854790","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
