![]() Before Taylor can come to grips with this development, regional fighting intrudes upon the refuge and the story takes a very dark turn. Taylor's genetic "mother" is someone she's known for years, a famous scientist. As the novel opens, news of the company's success in cloning has been announced to the media, although Taylor's identity has been kept secret. A year and a half ago, Taylor learned that she is actually a clone-as are four other children born at the same time, to parents who worked for the same company as the Walkers. Taylor Walker, 14, lives with her parents, wardens of an orangutan refuge in Kandah State, an independent nation "squashed" between Malaysia and Indonesia. This mostly taut but ultimately disappointing sci-fi thriller opens with a complex, riveting set-up. ![]()
