Description
In a universe where Regen can prolong life and health for centuries, death from anything other than violence is rare. People work, people play, and people...get bored. Garrett Caractacus, a terraforming scientist and coddled general's son, is doing all of those things, but the boredom is winning out. He needs a new challenge, something to take him away from the glamour and glitz of the life he's always known. Something different. Something hard. A trip to the Fringe world of Pandora, where he'll be part of a team of scientists ensuring that the planet is livable for the colonists headed there, sounds like just the thing. The colonists are naturals--people whose bodies reject Regen, people who die of everything from an injury to a disease to old age. Ugh, sounds traumatizing. Garrett resolves to stay far away from them...but a young boy named Cody and his father, Jonah, get past the walls around his heart. Soon Garrett will have a choice to make--return to the ease and comfort of a life in the Central System, or stay on Pandora and live, love, and make a family with people he knows won't be around for long.
