Cover Text of Cyteen: The Betrayal (paperback)

ARIANE EMORY IS DEAD.
BUT NOT FOR LONG.
WHERE IS ARIANE?

For fifty years, Dr. Ariane Emory has dominated politics on Cyteen Station. Because Dr. Emory controls Reseune, a city sized factory that creates the one item essential to the planet's wealth. Reseune produces people - computertrained azi servants and soldiers.

Then Ariane Emory is assassinated. Yet her rivals and victims, people like Dr. Jordan Warrick, his cloned son Justin, and Justin's azi brother Grant, are not freed by her death. For Emory's murder has turned Reseune into a vast, tyrannical experiment: an attempt to merge nature - and nurture... biotech - and cybernetics ... genetics - and psychology...heredity - and environment. Cyteen's labs can grow clones, but Ariane Emory's followers want more. Much more. They want to re-create Ariane.
