Luddite "Engineers" are attacking the creations of the gengineers, who have replaced much old, mechanical technology with biological equivalents.

Freddy the Pig, now human, must survive a concentration camp and escape to space before he can rescue his friendsùincluding gengineered flowers and dogsùand get them onto a fleeing starship, a hollowed asteroid.

Tom Easton writes:

"In some ways, this is a prophetic novel. At the time I wrote it, there were only a few hints of the current anti-genetic-engineering fervor, as expressed particularly in connection with genetically modified foods."

This is the third book in the series.
