Dr. Evelyn Caldwell discovered the special hormonal methods of neurophysiological conditioning that improved the ability to clone a human being. She enjoyed discussing all of her laboratory issues and struggles with her husband, Nathan, and just knew he'd also celebrate her success. Actually, he was so amazed at everything that Evelyn accomplished that he took what he had learned from her AND MADE HIS OWN CLONE -- a replica of Evelyn but much nicer. And named her Martine. Then something happens with Martine that should not be possible and Nathan ends up dead. How do these two very different women who look alike find a solution? NO SPOILERS.
This was definitely a fun read that made me consider all the possibilities of what it would be like if you met your own clone, interacted with your clone, formed a relationship with your clone. Not that the world needs another copy of me (HA), but my imagination enjoyed thinking about it. This sci-fi novel is full of issues ripe for discussion of the ethics and morals of creating a clone and then living with it. What makes a clone more than a lab specimen and is there any way it could be fully human after programming? Very interesting story that wasn't science heavy but more focused on characters and the topic of humanity. I enjoyed it.
