First Boy: Samarium

by J.J. Co, Joe Jeney

On the planet with the old twin Suns, Samarium, whose inhabitants have long forgotten their planetary origins, and who remain cut off from other colonized planets, humankind faces its twilight years, with genetic mutation impeding evolution, rather than refreshing it. One boy, Anchie Rantree, carries a rare genetic code that has the potential to rejuvenate the gene pool, and pull it back from the brink of viral suffocation. But he does not care to save the human race, or himself, not until he meets the deeply flawed, famously successful, and painfully beautiful literary celebrity, Krisiana, who has succumbed to deathly viral infection.
