A Crime Against Science

Born in a lab. Raised as a weapon. Sent to die for secrets he doesn't understand. On the corporate world of Mendel, loyalty is manufactured, and rebellion is a design flaw. Marin (a teenage operative engineered for aquatic espionage) has spent his life obeying the megacorporation that built him. His latest mission pairs him with a foreign "agent" named William Cox to infiltrate a rival biotech empire - but the operation collapses fast. Cox isn't who he claims to be, and the truth he's chasing could fracture Mendel's fragile balance of power. As Marin unravels a chain of vanished children, black-budget experiments, and buried genetic crimes, he begins to question everything he was made to believe - about his mission, his makers, and himself. Now every faction wants him silenced. Every secret he uncovers makes him more dangerous. And on a planet built on genetic corruption where science serves profit and every truth is a weapon, the only crime worse than betrayal ... ... is thinking for yourself.
