In this follow-up to The Clone Codes, teen "cyborg kid" Houston Ye and his allies, including "illegal" clone Leanna, revolt against their oppressive society. Social-reform-minded readers will be gratified to recognize that some of their actions echo the U.S. civil rights movement. Houston and Leanna continue to be compelling, sympathetic characters surrounded by action-packed events.
