YA
Genetically engineered to be a superior gardener, Dahlia is one of five thousand clones working "for the glory of the city" in specialized labor groups. She happily serves her purpose until meeting cadet Trigger. Is she "defective" for feeling love? This series-starter's engaging romance is hampered by a confusing world structure and a late-in-the-story plot twist.
