Publisher's Summary

Who will inherit the dying earth? The Ark Project is the epic story of a desperate attempt to redefine what it means to be human in a world perched on the edge of destruction with the technology to engineer humans capable of living in space. When one scientist takes it upon herself to make the hard decision of who gets to live and who must die, Kaiden, a courageous security officer plagued with memories from a past he did not live and a family he never had, sets out to stop her. 

Failure means the end of humanity as it has always been and the emergence of a new human experience where individuality and identity have no meaning at all. And Kaiden’s mind may be the secret to the survival of individual consciousness - of identity itself - but he won’t know unless he allows himself to die. 

The Ark Project explores the profound challenges and contradictions posed by modern science about the nature of humanity, individuality, memory, identity, human emotion, and motivation. What does it mean to be human when the “normal” biological limitations of both body and mind have been superseded by technology?

In The Clone Paradox, Kaiden is a young security officer tasked with protecting human clones as part of a top-secret international research program called The Ark Project. After surviving a terrorist attack on his airship, Kaiden begins having memories of a life he never lived, of people he has never met, of a family that never existed. The unsettling memories drive him to recover his lost identity and to search for the family that now haunts his dreams. But The Ark Project is about more than developing clones, and it will protect its secrets at any cost. 

The deeper Kaiden digs, the more he understands that he, and those like him, are expendable lab rats in a broader campaign to replace humanity. Kaiden has to choose between saving the family he longs for and preserving billions of innocent lives. He can’t have it both ways, and time is running out.
