Sime-Gen: The Unity Trilogy
by Jacqueline Lichtenberg Jean LorrahHere are quotes from reviews printed in the book: "House ofZeor by Jacqueline Lichtenberg is the first novel to be published in the Sime ~ Gen Universe. ... a mutation has divided the human race into two distinct groups, Simes and Gens. The Gens' bodies produce a substance called selyn, which is the biological energy that sustains them. The Simes need selyn to live. "However, when the average Sime uses his or her tentacles to extract selyn the Gen victim usually goes into shock and dies. Fortunately, some Simes have the ability to channel selyn. These Simes extract the selyn harmlessly from Gens and then transfer it to other Simes. "One such Sime channel is Klyd, Sectuib of the House of Zeor. In search of Klyd comes Hugh Valleroy, an agent in the Gen Federal Police Force. Valleroy's love, Aisha, has been captured by the vicious Runzi raiders. These raiders pen Gens like animals and kill them for their selyn. To save Aisha, Hugh pretends to join the House of Zeor. In order not to blow his cover, he must become a willing supplier of selyn to Klyd, a prospect that terrifies him. AMBROVKEON "...Lorrah adds her solo effort to the series with a bang-up story of one Sime's attempts to disjunct-to eschew the killing of Gens. "Risa Tigue, an intelligent young Sime businesswoman, meets Sergi ambrov Keon, one of the Companions who donates selyn voluntarily to Channels, the Simes who can take selyn without killing the Gen and then transfer it to disjunct Simes. Sergi recognizes Risa as a powerful potential Channel and persuades her to try to disjunct and then learn to use her abilities. He also wants to marry her, but Risa is wary of any restrictions on her freedom...." ZELEROD'S DOOM "... Mathematician Zelerod had predicted statistically that the day would come when the number of Gens would equal the number of Simes, and when each Sime had taken the selyn from a Gen (killing the Gen in the process), the Simes would die of attrition, thus ending the human race on Earth. "This day is fast approaching. Drought and famine, government mismanagement, and the depredations of Freeband Raiders have so diminished the Gen population that the Householdings are the only stable sources of supply..."

It has secrets . . . secrets beyond patents and proprietary processes . . . secrets it will go to any lengths to protect. Sims explores this brave new world as it is turned upside down and torn apart when lawyer Patrick Sullivan decides to try to unionize the sims.Right now, as you read these words, some company somewhere in the world is toying with the chimp genome.
