Testament

Description for TESTAMENT by Valerie J Freireich: In the Polite Harmony of Worlds, to be an Altere d - a genengineered human- has often meant to be a freak, less than human.  But the men and women of Testament settled their planet long before the Harmony rose to rule the fate of altereds.  Since the days of the slowships, every man and woman of the now quarantined planet could recall the memories of their female ancestors...every man except Gray Bridger. Bridger has spent his entire adult life trying to escape Testament, for he is that rare genetic throwback---a singleton, who holds no memories of other than his own.  But the powerful Bridger matriarchy has its own plans for Gray, a destiny that could crush his dreams...or make him the most important man on the planet.
