![]() ![]() One night, Rubric and Salmon Jo stumble upon a disturbing piece of information about how Klons are engineered. Legends tell that in The Land of The Barbarous Ones, the primitives still engage in such disgusting practices as pregnancy. The idea of a woman allowing a baby to gestate in her womb is abhorrent in Society, thus the Hatchery. I should probably mention, there are no men in Society, only Pannas (socially proper women) and Klons, specially engineered quasi-human servant women. Not “born.” Babies in this world are poured out of a tank when gestation is complete. Rubric begins training with a noted artist, while Salmon Jo starts work in The Hatchery, the place where new babies are decanted. ![]() They are ready to begin working with their mentors, and they have each other. Rubric and Salmon Jo have a seemingly idyllic life. (nb: I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley) ![]()
