killing a clone of himself, but leaves a copy of consciousness behind. To understand what happened the consciousness get
put into a modified soldier clone of the ‘Ghost Brigade’, but doesn’t take
initially. The story revolves around the nobody is completely sure whether to trust the clone, especially when bits of the
memory start coming back. Is this clone going to be becomes a traitor? Is he going to become the scientist or he is a person in his own right? What happens if the a super-enhanced soldier has the mind of a traitorous scientist? So you could say it - whether it is nature or nurture.
Mostly this book sets the background for

are born, as adults, knowing they are soldiers and their destiny is to protect
humanity.
