Produktbeschreibung
They called her Myxy. They should have called her weapon. On her eighth birthday, Xoma thought she was helping her adoptive father with his scientific work. One injection later, she became the deadliest bioweapon in two worlds. Dr. Scott Wyndgate didn't just adopt an orphaned Driathian child-he engineered the perfect carrier for a virus designed to wipe out entire populations. For eleven years, Xoma has been his unwitting instrument of genocide, visiting schools for single days that leave three-quarters of the population dead within twenty-four hours. Now, as her creator lies dying in his own laboratory, Xoma finally understands the full scope of her father's betrayal. She is no longer just a carrier-she has become something far more dangerous. The virus has evolved, grown stronger, and the vaccine that once protected a chosen few no longer works. Trapped in a compound abandoned by fleeing scientists, Xoma faces an impossible choice: die alone in her prison, or risk destroying the last survivors of her own race. Some experiments should never have been attempted. Some weapons should never have been created. And some daughters should never forgive their fathers. A haunting tale of scientific hubris, genocide, and one girl's struggle with the monster she was made to become.
