Summary
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Some things are not born. They are specified.

Adam Stone Harper has spent five years studying the Breathing: bioluminescent organisms that pulse along a Martian lake, alive in ways their engineers never intended. When a mining expansion threatens to destroy them, his petition to protect the ecosystem pulls him into a movement he never meant to lead, and toward a truth he never meant to find.

He was engineered. Down to the sequence of his DNA, by the same corporation now poised to strip the margins bare. The voice that has moved thousands of Martians to believe in their own independence belongs to a body built in a laboratory, decades before he took his first breath.

The discovery doesn't stay contained. It reaches into every relationship he has built, including the one he trusts most. As the truth edges toward the light, Adam faces a choice no one engineered him to make: expose what he is, or become exactly the kind of lie he has spent his life fighting.

Native in the Homeland, set in the world introduced in Clone of Liberty, asks whether something designed can ever become authentically its own.
