Human minds in android bodies. What could possibly go wrong? Alyss was raised in a walled compound, cared for by the Nandroids that run it. She's never experienced anything outside the complex. Well, except for that small square of sky above the high walls of the exercise yard. In just two months, Alyss will turn eighteen and her consciousness will be transferred into an android. Such is the way of the Society: giving its citizens bodies that will never age or decay. There's just one problem: a mysterious voice in an empty corridor that warns Alyss things are not what they seem. When an equipment malfunction grants her a glimpse into the world beyond the walls, Alyss is thrown headlong into a race for her life. The Society lied. They aren't putting her mind in an android body...they're programming it to act like her. And Alyss herself will die, to be replaced by something that's not quite human. In a world where human and android are indistinguishable, nobody can be trusted. The Society is coming for her...and if they catch her, she's going to die.

Akropolis

"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.
