The Probonid in Bloomington, MN

"All the while the public want harmless products on their shelves, it will go on and there is nothing you can do about it." Chawbury is a pleasant English market town; medieval cathedral, seventeenth and eighteenth century town houses surrounded by satellite estates, and to the east, a gleaming, ultra-modern biotech laboratory. But the beauty of Chawbury was of little consequence to C16, a synthetic hominid designed for experimentation. Death by slow torture seemed to be her inevitable fate... That is until schoolboy Michael Gowland gets a summer job in the animal pens. Science Fiction for Young Adults
