Central Line: 1 (Central Line Trilogy)

Bite natures hand. Shell bite back. It has been twenty-two years since the Regeneratio-the day the Ascendency came into office to govern what remains of the human race. The Ascendency spares nobody. No man woman or child is safe unless their genetic makeup has been altered at the hands of a trained biochemist whose work is meant to ensure the superiority and longevity of humankind. Systems of religion and traditional medicine have been phased out while social hierarchies thrive. But amidst the horror that comes with extinguishing a billion ineligible lives particular individuals deemed inhuman developed exceptional abilities-a result of spontaneous evolution. And lurking in the shadows of the earth a rebellion awaits. Miles Amissa. Daughter of Murus Amissa the Ascendencys vice-chancellor. Born during the year of the Regeneratio. The values and laws of the Ascendency make up the very core of her existence but her heart wanders elsewhere. She is the opposite of her authoritative hard-headed father-timid private and most notably a woman. This misfortune though not of her own choosing hinders her ability to challenge the ideas and positions of those in power. After blackmail falls upon the Amissa name Miles makes a choice-a choice that leads her straight into the path of Silens and Currens two rebels. Under their influence the tarnished pieces behind the Ascendencys framework are brought to light as are the secrets behind her ancestry. But can Miles come to terms with her identity more intertwined with the impending war than she thought or will the rebellion fall leaving all of humanity to the corrupt hands of the Ascendency?Nobiscum deus esse omnia.God be with us all.
