Good Book and Good Sequal

"Shaping the Dawn" is the third book of a three-part trilogy involving a group of scientist (geneticists) called the "Venn" who are exiled from Earth. The Venn eventually make their home on another planet and start three races. The first race, the Ganu are ordinary human stock. The second race is called the Lianis who are shape shifters. The last race is warlike and have the ability to tell when someone is truthful or not. The Venn set themselves up as Gods. They have taken a syrum and are immortal, but now hundreds of years later there are only four left. Many have died or killed themselves and the remaining four have forgotten who and what they really are. Meanwhile the races they created are finding out the truth. I highly recommend this book, and the other two are also excellent, although the first book, "Garden of the Shaped" is my favorite. I wish the entire series could be reprinted because other readers should get to enjoy it as much as I did. Sheila Finch is truly an artist at telling a story that keeps the reader interested. If you have a way of getting used books, I would suggest you find these since they are definitely good reading! The first book is called "Garden of the Shaped" and the second book is "Shapers Legacy".
