On rugged planet Loka, life for best friends Kayla and Mishalla is arduous at best. They are GENs, genetically engineered non-humans, and in their strict caste system, GENs are at the bottom rung of society. GENs are gestated in a tank and sent to work as slaves as soon as they reach age fifteen.
When Kayla is assigned to care for Zul Manel, the patriarch of a trueborn family, she finds secrets and surprises-not least of which is her budding friendship with Zul's handsome great-grandson. Meanwhile, the children that Mishalla is assigned to care for are being stolen in the middle of the night, and a strange lowborn boy is hanging around nearby.
After weeks of toiling in their assignments, mystifying circumstances enable Kayla and Mishalla to reunite. Together with the boys, they hatch a plan to save the disappearing children. Yet can GENs really trust humans? Both girls must put their lives and hearts at risk to crack open a sinister conspiracy, revealing secrets no one is ready to face.
The first in a trilogy, Tankborn is a dystopian sci-fi thriller that will leave listeners scrambling for the sequel!
