But when a man with obvious genetic enhancements confronts Chris Morgan and practically dies in his arms, accusing him of being responsible for his condition, it seems his past haunts him.

The enhanced man turns out to have died of a form of cancer, and Chris discovers a sort of epidemic among people who have purchased illegal genetic treatments. Fearing he too has been infected, Chris teams up with Dr. Robin Hayes, an oncologist who typically works on pediatric tumors. Chris is unaware that his ex-girlfriend Veronica is being blackmailed and was forced to spy on his work.

She and her son, John, are accompanied to London but struggle to adapt to a society that is almost forgotten for Linda and unknown to John.

Jane Hattaway is in her first command of a spaceship on what is supposed to be a routine mission to perform some operational tests. However, when she discovers two wrecks in space, all traces of normality vanish, because one of the spaceships belonged to the human fleet and the other to the alien Hurack fleet.

The orders Captain Hattaway receives when she informs Admiral James Edwards of the discovery are to maintain absolute secrecy and destroy the recordings she recovered. She begins to suspect that something strange is going on and decides to disobey, attempting to decipher the recordings instead of destroying them.
