FREAK- Part Three.: Extinction Embargoed!
Emmy Quatermain, Freak’s eldest daughter, accepts she has no choice but to take up her mother’s crusade. Guided by the array of advisors Freak has prepared, and with a list of instructions held by the neural Super-Computers, she is expected to be an active figurehead in the tumultuous decades ahead. But within days, Emmy learns that Freak had already instigated the first of several schemes, designed to prevent the collapse of the human race into anarchy and genocide as a mixture of Climate Change and over-population will lead to the financial and social collapse of the planet.
Bitter and angry with her mother for being excluded from the initial decision-making, and realising she only has around three months before the entire world tries to kill her for what Freak has just implemented worldwide, Emmy takes advantage of a personal suggestion from her mother to “do your own thing” -by rebelling and amending the directives she has been given. Instead of the eighty-year time span that had been planned to totally change society, Emmy decides to do it in less than fifty years. It will lead to a clash between Emmy’s and Freak’s goals as their various aides try to reconcile the original and amended plans.
Part Three of the Freak quaternary covers the next hundred years, into the Twenty-Second Century- and the technology will advance by several centuries as Emmy accelerates everything and everyone to demonstrate her independence from Freak. It will also lead to several deaths in the Quatermain family as Emmy takes risks her mother would never have countenanced, and world leaders are left in no doubt that Emmy, the brash teenager in a hurry, is very unlike her mother- except for the fact that Emmy’s super-brain possibly matches her mother’s own intellect.
