Showing results for "Chris" in Genetic Engineering

Es ist nichts Geringeres als eine medizinische Sensation: Durch die Entdeckung eines neuen Wundermittels kann der Alterungsprozess des Menschen aufgehalten werden! Wer das Medikament regelmäßig nimmt bleibt nicht nur ewig jung, er ist auch schöner und stärker als "normale" Menschen. Doch die neue Wunderdroge hat einen Haken: Man braucht dazu das Blut von Menschen, deren DNA eine besondere Sequenz aufweist. Oft werden diese "Träger" entführt und in Blutfarmen gefangen gehalten.

On May 1st, 2067, the world fell. One thing Zebadiah Pratt - or Zee to his friends - won’t abide, though, is slavery, even in a Fallen World. So when friends of his find a shipment of gene-modified child slaves, he knows something must be done. There’s only one problem: The slaves came from an island owned by the infamous Dr. Laroue, a noted geneticist and the creator of many of the imprints the Obsidian Corporation used to create its super-soldiers. He’s going to need help.

Reality after reality is being destroyed by THE BLEED. With their options narrowing by the second, and with their group scattered far and wide across the multiverse, it's down to less than 10 people to try and save the lives of billions upon billions of others. If they fail, THE BLEED will rule. Nothing and no one else will survive.

Da saß ich nun, mutterseelenallein auf meinem Floß, um mich herum die Weite des Ozeans. Hinter mir loderten die Flammen noch immer über der Insel der Freiheit. Vor mir erstreckte das Wasser sich bis zum Horizont. Ich wusste nicht, ob jemand von den anderen Insassen überlebt hatte. Ich hatte keine Ahnung, ob man mich suchen würde – und wenn ja, wer. Meine einzige Option lag darin, weiterzumachen und mich einem unbekannten Schicksal anzuvertrauen.

Bei meiner Ankunft in der Hauptstadt wurde ich festgenommen. Angeblich hatte ich den kleinen Prinzen ermordet. Die Strafe war die Verbannung ins Exil – auf die Insel der Freiheit. Diese Gefängnisinsel war ein Sammelplatz für die schrecklichsten Kriminellen des Kaiserreichs: Facettierte, Schwarzbüchler, Mörder und Vergewaltiger. Man munkelte, dass seit Bestehen dieser Strafkolonie nur drei Personen die Flucht von dort gelungen sei. Ich hatte den Prinzling nicht ermordet. Aber es gab keine Möglichkeit, der Verbannung zu entgehen.

Ich bin eine ganz besondere Person. Durch meine Adern fließt goldenes Blut. Weltweit gibt es nur etwa 40 weitere Personen, bei denen das ebenso ist. Ihr glaubt mir nicht? Dann sucht im Internet nach goldenem Blut. Ihr werdet schon sehen, dass ich recht habe. Dank meines Blutes wurde ich in eine Gruppe von Testpersonen aufgenommen, und mir wurde ein KI-Chip namens Alisa ins Hirn eingepflanzt.

Barnabas has destroyed the Committee's research facility, but his victory came at a cost: his friend Jeltor remains captive and brainwashed. He isn't going to stand for that. He is going to find and rescue his friend, no matter what it takes. But what will he do when he has to decide between saving his friend...and saving an entire planet?

Stephen walked into the office which Barnabas was using as his judge's chamber. While the massive amount of data Bethany Anne’s team was throwing at him was more than enough to assuage his curiosity, he had never felt this way in the last one hundred and fifty-two years. He wanted a vacation.

Decades of groundwork. Countless civilians abducted, experimented on, and killed. The perfect plan has taken shape, and soon, the entire sector will be under the control of the shadowy Committee. That was the plan, anyway. But some human has decided to blow the whole thing up. What do you do when one of those pathetic little newcomers tries to ruin your plans? Make him pay. On the other hand, maybe you should have found out more about this "Barnabas" guy before trying that. But it can't possibly go too far wrong, can it? Soon you'll have an entire fleet under your control.

Someone sent three fully armed ships to High Tortuga to back the slave-owners running the mines, and Barnabas and Shinigami are determined to find out who. As they look deeper, however, they’ll find traces of an organization that controls whole mercenary syndicates, industries, and even governments: the Yennai Corporation. They have plans for this sector of space, and they are not about to let humans interfere. So they’re going to kill Barnabas, and they’re going to make an example of the mine workers he freed. After all, who’s going to stop them? Barnabas is one human in one ship.

Barnabas has uncovered one of the biggest players in this sector, the Yennai Corporation. Now he's in for a surprise - it turns out that the alien who's been pulling the strings against him is none other than Uleq, the Torcellan who escaped Bethany Anne's clutches. Barnabas isn't taking any chances now. He's going to find the Yennai Corporation's main base and bring them down. But Uleq has problems of his own...

On the planet now known as High Tortuga, the mine workers are far too close to being slaves so the ruler of the planet shut them down. Except for the mine owned by Venfirdri Lan. He's taken his mine off the grid and decided to keep everything running. With no need to pay the workers, profits should be good. After all, who's going to stop him? He had no idea there was a new type of man working for justice on the planet. A man named Barnabas. In fact, he didn't even know who Barnabas was. But he's about to.

After taking down the Yennai Corporation, Barnabas has earned a little break. On the way back to High Tortuga, however, he stops to answer a distress call. How long could it take, after all? Barnabas is about to find out. In what should have been an open-and-shut murder case, questions begin to pile up fast: who, exactly, was this Jotun Naval captain? Why was there a black ops ship lurking nearby, ready to shoot down anyone who tried to approach?

Barnabas has traced the influence of the Yennai Corporation from High Tortuga to their secret base, which he has destroyed, killing both heirs to the company. Who hasn't he killed? Koel Yennai, the patriarch and founder...who has sworn vengeance on Barnabas for killing his children and destroying his legacy. Now, Koel gathers what remains of the Yennai Corporation to hunt Barnabas across known space and kill him.
