In the year 2101, cloning is common, but Travis Kilbourn is anything but ordinary. Engineered by his power-hungry father, Travis was never meant to live his own life. He was designed to carry someone else's.
Now, with the reanimated digital consciousness of Albert Einstein guiding him, Travis uncovers the truth behind a shadow operation known as Celeritous-a plan to overwrite his mind with that of his father's and ensure immortality through replication.
With time running out, Travis must battle his creator inside a shared mindscape-where memories, identity, and control blur.
One clone's odyssey to find humanity becomes a fight to keep it from extinction.

Resurrection
*This story serves as an immediate reboot of the main Gel-Squad stories, essentially giving the universe a full reset with the exception of certain characters and plot lines! The Omeocoon and Panthorians no longer exist... they've evolved... completely, in every sense of the word, they are now just two 'genders' among seven, joined together in a massive galactic empire that presides over a massive fleet of nomadic starships. The Ashavelli, a powerful, highly intelligent, dangerous, and somewhat xenophobic civilization, is hard at work constructing the next city ship to add to their fleet. Despite their large galactic presence, they are elusive and eccentric, having vanished from the public eye eons ago. The story follows Corwin Kipp Nine, the newest 'member' of the Corwin family. Although CK9 is the youngest in terms of age, he is most certainly not by wisdom, as he is the clone of a lucrative company's founder by the same name. As a perfect genetic match, Kipp shares not only his appearance with the original but his intellect as well. Obsessed with his own immortality, Corwin Kipp has created 8 previous versions of himself like this, and all were CEO of his technological empire. After a dangerous group takes several important political figureheads out of the equation, no doubt as a way to derail the Citadel project, Kipp 9's "father," a military buff known as Corwin Russell, agrees to take a state-of-the-art prototype warship through the territory of their worst enemy, the Xalorians, to rescue Hiro Tommy, prince, and next in line to the throne of Cloud City, but most importantly a spy who knows the key to everything! The entire Corwin family joins Russell on his journey, and Kipp fights for his life and bonds with his adoptive father, as they battle to save the Citadel! Cover art by Lio!Complete
