Wetwire: Visionaries- Part Two The Space Between
In a near future where scientists have engineered clones that have ESP-like ability to foresee the future, they discover that one clone has ability not only to predict the future, but to shape it as well.
When she is kidnapped by a rogue group who hope to use her to incite a clone revolt, the government sends out a task force to recover her, and prevent society from collapsing again into civil war between human and clone.
BOOK TWO
While L-42869 is secreted away to the home of a powerful ally, Adam and Sarafina continue to search for them. Jim adjusts to his new body, while Debra tries to navigate the political pitfalls emerging around them. Swift becomes Debra’s new assistant, giving him new security clearance, but both him and Madden are growing paranoid as tensions escalate.

Spoiler alert for “Wetwire Part I”!!! Well, it may not exactly be a spoiler, but there is no way that readers can keep up with this second addition of the series if they haven’t already read the first part. There are too many characters, sub-plots, along with a complicated main plot, for new readers to just dive in. Trust me, the water is ice-cold if you don’t acclimate with “Wetwire Part I” first. Luckily, the first in the series is a fast read.
Many more questions are raised in this second book. Does a clone have a soul? Whether the characters have faith or not, the question of a soul residing in a man-mad human is what makes the difference for a clone to be worthy of fair treatment. What is it that makes the clones disposable? Is it their multiple selves of brothers and sisters walking around? And, why do clones view another clone of themselves as competition?
In many cases, the clones are angered and seem almost insulted at meeting a likeness of themselves, reminiscing the age-old desire for being unique and original. If you dislike meeting others wearing your same favorite shirt, then imagine meeting someone wearing your same face.
There are so many questions that arise in this book, though don’t expect to have any clear answers just yet. There’s still more books in this series, and still more time to unravel the ethical questions regarding clones.
Though prejudice may or may not be the moral of the story, there is a strong message against discrimination in this book. Clones are treated with the same hypocrisy that slaves were treated with. They’re people who are valuable in their work, but they aren’t respected as actual individuals. The clones are looked upon as property or objects rather than people. Though they are given emotions and develop their own characters and memories, clones are still treated as sub-human, despite the fact that no one could tell a clone from a regular person without doing a DNA scan.
Questions of morals and ethics get as deep as the ocean in this series. What more would you expect from a science fiction series on clones?
