The Replica Code

In the future, the unauthorized dissemination of knowledge is a grave crime, and Geneticist Samantha Vanay is a career criminal.

She has a plan—keep her mouth shut and stay in The Red Merchant’s good graces no matter what happens. But all that changes when Rachel starts cracking under the pressure.
