Description:If a killing plague broke out of the jungle and threatened to destroy mankind before we could find a cure, maybe our machines could develop the cure after we were gone and then bring us back from stored embryos. They could keep the world until we were ready to take over again.They would do it for us. Wouldn’t they?It’s the end of the world . . . but only for a little while.***When a killing fever sweeps across the world, the CDC’s Geoffrey Answorth rushes to develop a cure. He can do it—he just needs a few years. The problem is that we’ll all be dead in six months. Well, not quite all of us. . . . The Origyn Systems model 27000, an artificial human with a normal human body but a sealed, electronic mind, is immune to the fever. So, why not just leave them the job of completing the cure? Then, they can use frozen human embryos to bring mankind to life again. So the 27000s are given the rules: keep things running, find the cure, and then raise the children. And above all, do not tell the new human children what their parents really are. Not until the oldest of the new generation is twenty-one. Then they have to tell them everything, including who—or what—raised them no matter what the consequences. Those are the rules.But there are rules, and then there are rules. Thena Havik, an early model 27000, breaks the rules when she marries Geoffrey Answorth, who dies never knowing his wife was pregnant and not human. Paul Attik, a 27000 obsessed with Thena, breaks the rules when he sabotages a 27000 manufacturing plant in a bid to stall the reintroduction of humans. But Jack Mannish, another 27000, is certain only that his duty is to serve humans, however wicked their demands. Altogether, Thena, Attik, and Mannish are learning that raising children means breaking a lot of rules. In fact, the rules demand it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
