Utopia has been achieved. For centuries, disease, hunger, poverty 
and war have been things found only in the histories. And applied 
genetics has given men and women the bodies of athletes and a lifespan 
of over a century. They should all have been very happy.... But
 Hamilton Felix is bored. And he is the culmination of a star line; each
 of his last thirty ancestors chosen for superior genes. Hamilton is, as
 far as genetics can produce one, the ultimate man. And this ultimate 
man can see no reason why the human race should survive, and has no 
intention of continuing the pointless comedy. However, Hamilton's
 life is about to become less boring. A secret cabal of revolutionaries 
who find utopia not just boring, but desperately in need of leaders who 
know just What Needs to be Done, are planning to revolt and put 
themselves in charge. Knowing of Hamilton's disenchantment with the 
modern world, they have recruited him to join their Glorious Revolution.
 Big mistake! The revolutionaries are about to find out that recruiting a
 superman is definitely not a good idea....
