Golden Seeds

Humanity has always been on a collision course with evolution. A single species cannot ravage the biosphere without consequences, and Homo sapiens may have become the masters of their own demise. The single lesson flowing from the biosphere's four billion years of history is: evolve or sink into the void of extinction. Life is kinetic, and those who can't change must crumble like dust in the winds of time.

After Mark and Mat unexpectedly stumble upon the exotic origin of the Strings of Life in their previous adventure, the world begins shifting around them. Time runs short as a deadly new strain of Ebola lays waste to an unwary planet. They hold in their hands the unlikely genetic secrets for a cure. But outrunning a rapidly spreading virus proves difficult when the price for life requires alterations to the human genome. In a world of myopic humans, unable to envision the next stage of human evolution, some will live, but most will perish.
