Résultats pour "Wild" dans Génie génétique

Genetic engineer Noah Parker helped domesticate dragons for use as pets and deployed them for the United States military. Now his team is tasked with designing dragons to tackle invasive species and other ecological problems. It's no easy job, especially because government approval requires the dragons have built-in failsafes to prevent them from reproducing in the wild. To Noah's surprise, the approval also requires the presence of an onsite observer—who happens to be his former rival from graduate school.

Doro ist ein Unsterblicher, ein Geisterwesen, das jeden menschlichen Körper übernehmen kann. Seit tausend Jahren greift er in die Geschicke eines afrikanischen Dorfes ein, um einen perfekten Menschen zu züchten. Als Sklavenhändler das Dorf verwüsten und seine "Kinder" entführen, reist er ihnen hinterher und begegnet Anyanwu, einer Gestaltwandlerin und Heilerin, die ebenso unsterblich ist wie er. Sie könnte der Schlüssel zu Doros Plänen sein - doch Anyanwu hat eigene Pläne. Und so beginnt ein Kampf zwischen zwei Halbgöttern, der die Zukunft der Menschheit für immer verändern wird.

Nickie's seven-year sabbatical is up. Having dragged herself back from rock bottom to find that she was always the Grimes she denied, Nickie must overcome the most painful obstacle of all.

When Nickie receives a plea for help, she does what any young rebel on a sabbatical would do. She ignores it. Little does she know quite who and what happen to follow the message. One volcanic labyrinth, a rock monster, and a hike with a new team later, she finds herself on a new mission of her own. And this time, she has no idea what’s in store for her.

Returning to find most of the colony slaughtered, Nickie flies into a rampage and goes off to kill the Skaines who did this. Then, at her darkest hour, she learns a valuable lesson about herself, and the true nature of retribution. Meanwhile, her Aunt Tabitha works on her own unique methods for cleaning up the universe. With Ryu beside her, she mis-adventures herself and her Tontos through the seedy underside of Karkat to get their man.

When Nickie accidentally activates her special functions and finds herself with a stolen ship full of hostile Skaine, she has no choice but to figure out what to do with the cards she has been dealt. A by-product of her activation, her internal computer system also finds her Aunt Tabitha’s diary in her memory banks. In these accounts, Nickie finds a long-desired link back to her favorite aunt, whose recounted stories help them both to accept the trauma they’ve survived.
