Predators and Prey · A Short Story

Jim gave up everything for a new identity and a one way ticket to a fresh start: a colony light years from his criminal past, a harsh environment to be tamed for a better future.

But elements of his past—a life of lab-spliced drugs and gene-spliced hoodlums—have the same idea. And they expect his help bringing the old ways to a new world.
