Description
[Originally released as MASQUE, this first ebook edition is published under the authors' preferred title.]

"Vividly imagined complexities...the plot twists and turns on itself like a double helix...pleasures aplenty." (Publishers Weekly)

Tristan has no identity, no face, no family, no rights. He is a perfect spy: an artificially created human whose metamorphic DNA can be programmed with "masques"--genetic copies of anyone--over and over again. Until his body breaks down. But Tristan's masters offer him humanity, citizenship, and a permanent shape in exchange for one last mission. Now, Tristan must play a masquerade that will save--or destroy--an entire people.

"A tense, intelligent novel." (Prometheus)

"An imaginatively detailed world." (The San Jose Mercury News)
