Parallel Edens

In the darkest corners of the web, you can buy anything. Even a soul.

They are called "dopplers." Perfect, bio-synthetic replicas of real people, grown in secret labs and sold on The Gilded Cage, an exclusive black market for the world's most depraved elite. Each one is a flawless, programmable doll, designed for a single purpose: to fulfill any fantasy, no matter how dark, no matter how violent.

They have no past. They have no will. They have no rights. They are the ultimate luxury good, and their clients are the powerful, the wealthy, and the untouchable. Men like Julian, who collects them like art. Men like The Collector, who breaks them for sport. Men like Aris Thorne, the brilliant, sadistic genius who created them.

But in a world of perfect slaves, one man is about to become the perfect spy.

When an FBI agent infiltrates the market, he doesn't raid it. He buys in. He orders a custom doppler, a perfect replica of a beautiful young stripper, and has it secretly reprogrammed to be a Confidential Informant. This ghost in the machine, a spy with the face of a victim, is sent back into the heart of hell, armed with a single mission: gather the evidence that can bring the whole rotten empire down.

But in a house of monsters, can a ghost keep his soul? And when you're surrounded by so much depravity, how long before you become one of them?

Parallel Eden: The Client List is a chilling, provocative techno-thriller that plunges into the darkest corners of human desire. It is a story that asks what happens when technology creates a new class of slave, and how far one man will go to set them free.
