| [Age of Apocalypse] |
For one hundred and fifty years, Nathaniel Essex has been my most
loyal and trustworthy servant. I have given him keys to my kingdom...
the genetic reserves of an entire planet - to him. He has been charged
with rebuilding the world in my image. Daring to create the next generation
of Homo Superior. Doomed to betray me. How could it be any other way?
To
him, his duty was nothing more than an elaborate laboratory experiment.
He was content as long as the experiment continued and he was left alone
to manipulate the evolutionary process. But now that it is time to separate
the chaff from the wheat, I find he has become too much the father to his
own experiments - a father to children who, if they survive, are doomed
to be orphaned. |
