Model 12
Evan Cross has always been exceptionally healthy. At twenty-five, he has the heart of an endurance athlete, organs biologically younger than he is, an almost perfect immune system-and no reason to believe any of it is unusual. Until his annual birthday examination becomes an extraction. Armed operatives storm the small-town clinic Evan has visited since childhood. His longtime doctor helps him escape, pressing a medical tablet into his hand before ordering him to run.
The file it contains reduces Evan's entire life to a handful of clinical classifications:DESIGNATION: MODEL 12-PASSET VALUE: $47.3 MILLIONHARVEST REQUEST: APPROVEDEvan was genetically engineered for extraordinary health, accelerated regeneration, and long-term biological viability. His birth certificate, adoption records, medical history, and childhood in Millhaven were all constructed around one purpose: preserving him until the client who commissioned his body was ready to collect.
Pharmaceutical billionaire Elias Vandar is dying. But he does not merely want Evan's organs. He intends to transfer his own consciousness into Evan's genetically perfected body-erasing the person who has lived inside it for twenty-five years. With a seventy-two-hour harvest window closing around him, Evan becomes a fugitive from an organization that has monitored every stage of his life. Yet the records reveal something larger than his own captivity.
Millhaven is only one of forty-nine carefully selected towns. Hundreds of wealthy clients have funded similar human assets, and other engineered men and women are approaching their own scheduled harvest dates without knowing what they are. To survive, Evan must learn whom he can trust, expose the network before its evidence disappears, and reach the hidden facility where the other models are being held.
Because escaping will save only one life. Destroying the Harvest may be the only way to prove that no human being-engineered or otherwise-can be owned. Model 12 launches The Harvest, a science-fiction conspiracy thriller of genetic engineering, medical exploitation, corporate power, identity, and one ordinary man's fight to reclaim a life designed to belong to someone else.
