Raison d'etre

by Anthony M. Johnson

The Dancer Empire. A world formed up of synthetic-organic beings, the most advance creatures to ever grace the galaxy. Mass produced, grown in vats, designed to be part flesh and part computer, they are remarked to be the closest thing to a perfect life form in the universe. Then there's Paz. Paz Hedeon was not born perfect. She wasn't even born like her fellow Dancers. She is a fighter, a philosopher, a lover longing for companionship and a woman who simply wants to stick out from the crowd. Yet she is rejected by her planet. In a world full of peace, there is no need for violence. In a planet where the only god is the emperor, there is no need for discussions. What good is love, if everyone is programed to be straight? Why should one be permitted to stick out from the crowd, if one is created to be equal to all? Well, no perfect society can last forever. When Emperor Shalashaska is driven from his post, the time for a new ruler comes... and Paz has chosen that it'll be her, the ugly duckling turned swan, that will rule. The first Science Fiction novel from Anthony M Johnson, read the fourth chapter of The Mercenary's Salvation and take part in a frank discussion of the role of war, debates, homosexuality and the individual in this satirical entry. Fall in love with Paz or hate her to the Pearl, the choice is yours; simply expand your views and visit a galaxy far from our own, one that may yet have an impact as the saga continues
