Description

Vic Jones, genetically translocated to the year 2084, awakens in the body of a descendant, Viceroy Jones. Finding himself inside the terramyd, haven to millions of Trycor shareholders, he tries to escape its cruel, corporate society. He learns the terramyd is the creation of his despised brother -- a master of genetic programming. It is also the source of the myd, an artificial entity with which Vic finds he is somehow connected. With the help of Jewel, the clone of the woman he once loved, Vic battles with destiny and the passions he feels for both women. Meanwhile, Viceroy, using a modified Virtual Genetic Regression technique in an attempt to mindjack his ancestor, Robert Jones, lands in a Los Angeles rocked by civil war. His plan to alter a critical detail in the Trycor charter to gain control of the corporation evaporates when he instead surfaces inside Victor Jones, the brother of his target, of whom there was no record in 2084. The two struggle to keep their real identities and survive the dangers of a civilization in decline, only partially aware that they are players in a game begun more than two centuries before.
