Jex (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739454104)

Famous pretty boy, Jextapon 3 still has four years of his allotted lifespan left. So why has his rich patron condemned him to die now? And what happens if someone has other ideas?

In a world where children are grown in laboratories, the only males allowed are lobotomised worker drones and attractive but impotent playthings for rich, powerful women. These entertainers are terminated at 21 years and everyone lives safely and harmoniously. After all, there's a steady supply of female embryos to keep the world turning.

But the Brutals of the desert, after being caught swelling their numbers by diverting 'imperfect' daughters en route to termination, have been banned from acquiring any more children. They'll die out - unless they can find a way of smuggling a male out of Finedis City. A functioning male.

And they've set their sights on Jex. But can he fulfil this new destiny?
