In this taut tale of genetics and entitlement, nature vs. nurture goes horrifically wrong.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dina Blake\u2019s fourteen-year-old son, Geoff, has just died for the second time. But everything will be okay. The Blake family\u2019s wealth has bought them thousands of clones of each of their children. These children are farmed out to loving families, but with the caveat that the bodies are always available to the Blakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Geoff dies, the Blakes upload their son\u2019s memories into Nathan, who is an unwilling host, desperate to stay with the family who loved him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dina\u2019s younger daughter, Di, is terrified because she knows something her parents don\u2019t\u2014the memory transfer doesn\u2019t always go as planned. The Geoff who\u2019s been living with them since his first death isn\u2019t the person her mother thinks he is, and the families of the bodies the Blakes steal aren\u2019t all innocent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Geoff returns to life in Nathan\u2019s body, he has to contend with Nathan\u2019s frustrating desire to live and his unexpected ability to fight for his life. For some children to live, others must die. Dina must decide how far she\u2019ll go to protect her children, and Geoff must find out if, and who, he\u2019s willing to kill.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>La traducci\u00f3n:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Una familia adinerada que intenta enga\u00f1ar a la muerte se ve superada por un adolescente terco que se esconde en un cuerpo que se parece exactamente al de su hijo. En este intenso relato sobre gen\u00e9tica y derechos, la naturaleza frente a la crianza sale horriblemente mal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El hijo de catorce a\u00f1os de Dina Blake, Geoff, acaba de morir por segunda vez. Pero todo estar\u00e1 bien. La riqueza de la familia Blake les ha comprado miles de clones de cada uno de sus hijos. Estos ni\u00f1os son enviados a familias amorosas, pero con la condici\u00f3n de que los cuerpos siempre est\u00e9n disponibles para los Blake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despu\u00e9s de que Geoff muere, los Blake suben los recuerdos de su hijo a Nathan, quien es un hu\u00e9sped involuntario, desesperado por quedarse con la familia que lo amaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La hija menor de Dina, Di, est\u00e1 aterrorizada porque sabe algo que sus padres no saben: la transferencia de recuerdos no siempre sale como se planea. El Geoff que ha estado viviendo con ellos desde su primera muerte no es la persona que su madre cree que es, y las familias de los cuerpos que los Blake roban no son todas inocentes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuando Geoff vuelve a la vida en el cuerpo de Nathan, tendr\u00e1 que lidiar con el frustrante deseo de Nathan de vivir y su inesperada habilidad para luchar por su vida. Para que alg\u00fan ni\u00f1o viva, otro debe morir.
