520    "Phoenix was grown and raised among other genetic 
       experiments in New York's Tower 7. She is an 'accelerated 
       woman'--only two years old but with the body and mind of 
       an adult, Phoenix's abilities far exceed those of a normal
       human. Still innocent and inexperienced in the ways of the
       world, she is content living in her room speed reading e-
       books, running on her treadmill, and basking in the love 
       of Saeed, another biologically altered human of Tower 7. 
       Then one evening, Saeed witnesses something so terrible 
       that he takes his own life. Devastated by his death and 
       Tower 7's refusal to answer her questions, Phoenix finally
       begins to realize that her home is really her prison, and 
       she becomes desperate to escape. But Phoenix's escape, and
       her destruction of Tower 7, is just the beginning of her 
       story. Before her story ends, Phoenix will travel from the
       United States to Africa and back, changing the entire 
       course of humanity's future"--|cprovided by publisher.
