Twiceborn (eBook)

We all evolve. Our abilities, our bodies, and our opinions change. For the people in these stories, some changes are more radical than others.Would you end one life to make way for another?Would you leave the world you know for one more beautiful and dangerous?If you could give humans immortality-and the dangerous powers that go with it-would you?This collection of six stories spans three fictional universes whose citizens have solved the problem of mortality in different ways.Each solution comes with a price we may someday be asked to pay.
