When enigmatic billionaire Burton Sykes walks into Re-Gene-eration, a bespoke reproduction assistance clinic run by Raina and Cedric, two disgraced genetic engineers struggling to get by, they know they have a very unusual client. When Sykes asks them to genetically engineer a way for humanity to survive the coming ecological apocalypse, Raina is tempted. Bees are dying, crops are failing, and she knows her research is partly to blame. Could she help in some way? Though troubled, Cedric agrees to take part when it becomes clear their benefactor will do this with or without them. How else can he be sure their work won’t fall into the wrong hands? But can they really trust Mr. Sykes?

“We’re on the precipice, staring into the abyss.”
Darkly prescient, but never giving into despair, Climenhage’s debut science fiction thriller The Midnight Project is an absolute triumph. In a near future where every breath is taken in a pre-apocalypse of terrifying credibility, the author draws us into the journey of two isolated scientists who, charged with designing a new kind of human, discover the best of humanity in themselves and their creations. An incredible story and a must-read for us all. – Julie E. Czerneda, author of To Each This World DAW Books
