Genetic modification is knocking on humanity's door, adorned not only in vast potential, but in its controversial morality. In the critically acclaimed science fiction saga, The Elyrian Chronicles, the coming, undoubtedly explosive, byproduct of Man playing God is unleashed-the battle for genetic equality. In KIMBER, book one of the epic new series, the envelope of social injustice is pushed beyond the color of our skin, our creeds, and our social status, to the ultimate discriminator: our very DNA.
Set in a volatile, ozone-ravaged, and visually stunning, near-future, the threat of human extinction muddies the waters of right and wrong and demands terrible sacrifices in the name of survival.
A single decision, as complex as it is dark, sets off a chain of world-shattering events as the fallen protégée geneticist, Kimberly steals and impregnates herself with one of twenty-three experimental, genetically engineered embryos in a time of global panic. Though Kimberly's decision is a death sentence to the intended surrogate mother, it is the only thing that keeps alive the terrible secrets of how the children were created-a truth that, over twenty years later, may be all that can topple the government that has forced her daughter, Kimber and the other twenty-two "grafted" into life of slavery. Once the yoke of oppression begins to break, though, and pandora's box of knowledge is finally opened, the delicate balance of Mankind's survival is pushed to the brink of collapse.
"[Kimber] is a superbly crafted dystopian novel by a novelist with a genuine flair for originality and the kind of entertaining narrative storytelling style that keeps and holds the reader's total attention from first page to last...The Elyrian Chronicles promises to be a block-buster of a science fiction saga."
-Midwest Book Review
"Readers interested in sagas that build new possibilities from the ashes of old paradigms will find [The Kimber series] vivid in [its] review of genetic engineering's promises and perils in a stormy human future. The delight in L.K. Hingey's works is that they take the time to build entire worlds that rest on the foundations of moral, ethical, and survival challenges that test all the characters."
