Gene Born: Awakening (The Koci Hybrid Series #1)

They never said life was fair, and they proved that statement was true over and over again. They lied to us. They changed us. They hurt us. They controlled us. The government used us to improve the human genome through gene modification. Earth was dying and they needed the humans to be stronger, faster, and harder to kill while traveling through space in their search for a new home. Then they took it even further when an alien species called the Koci were shot down right before the last Exodus ships were scheduled to leave. What they didn't count on was our determination to win back our minds and bodies. We have awakened, now it is time to take back our freedom.
