Featured Book

by T. Jackson King

Little Brother had survived as an orphan on the colony planet Mother’s World by following two rules. First you grabbed anything edible before the valuables. Second, you never talked to the garbage. But then the garbage–a Pube girl named Sally–talked to him. Before he knew it, he was running to escape the attention of The Church of the Flesh and had begun a quest to learn why he alone had been born without the GeneCode tatoo that set one’s status, job and destiny.
