Sleepless Trilogy Series Book 01
This coming of age tale follows Leisha Camden. She is the first person
genetically altered before birth so that she does not need to sleep. Her
rich industrialist father pays for the procedure so that his daughter will
have a competitive edge over others. It's soon discovered that Leisha's
mother is also carrying a "normal" child. As Leisha grows older she finds
others who've had the non-sleep genetic alteration. Compared to their age
mates, the non-sleep children, who have not had I.Q. genetic manipulation,
are more intelligent, better at problem-solving, and more joyous than non-
engineered children. And no negative side effects reported so far.
In a world where the slightest edge can mean the difference between success
and failure, Leisha Camden is beautiful, extraordinarily intelligent, and
one of a growing number of human beings who have been genetically modified
to never require sleep.
Once considered interesting anomalies, now Leisha and the other "Sleepless"
are outcasts, victims of blind hatred, political repression, and shocking
mob violence meant to drive them from human society and, ultimately, from
Earth itself.
But Leisha Camden has chosen to remain behind in a world that envies and
fears her "gift" -- a world marked for destruction in a deadly conspiracy
of freedom and revenge.
