Humankind 2.0

Thames house is expecting an eccentric new recruit in the person of Chasha Jones self-described (only partly tongue-in-cheek) as the most intelligent woman in London. But on the day shes due to start work theres no sign of her. Shockingly it turns out shes joined an obscure cult run by an eccentric Briton called Hector Raynebow. Raynebow used to be a dedicated eco-warrior but hes ditched environmentalism on the grounds that humanity in its present form isnt capable of saving the world: the rot has gone too farYet no need to worry he has a solution: Humankind 2.0 a new type of human being developed by cutting-edge gene technology. John Mordred is assigned to investigate. But of course hes not the only one. And to make things even cosier the investigators are explicitly briefed not to get on with each other.
