When Earth falls to a devastating fungal plague, geneticist Dr. Samara Makinde joins humanitys desperate bid for survival on DaVinci, a distant exoplanet meant to be their fresh start. But DaVinci has a secret: it harbors spores that wipe out every pregnancy, threatening to erase the colony before the next generation is born. Samara believes she can save them with gene therapy, reengineering human DNA to live in harmony with the alien fungus. But psychologist Dr. Ayesha Basu sees only the shadow of her familys past, genetic enhancements that led to madness, and vows to stop Samara at any cost. Defying the colonys laws, Samara risks everything to secretly engineer her own child. Her daughter, Phoebe, should be a miracle. Instead, she becomes a spark for paranoia and revolt. When the ruins of DaVincis first settlement reveal a mass grave of genetically altered children, fear turns to fury, and the colony fractures into zealots and outcasts. As Samara fights to protect Phoebe from those who would destroy her, a darker truth emerges: the first settlers arent entirely gone. Something twisted survived in the forests beyond the colony, watching...and waiting. Now Samara must navigate betrayal, fanaticism, and an alien threat older than humanitys second chance. If she fails, Phoebe wont just be the last child of DaVinci; shell be the last child of mankind. Neal Stephensons Seveneves meets Andy Weirs Project Hail Mary-with a haunting edge of Raised by Wolves.
