Brother to Demons, Brother to Gods

Brother to Demons, Brother to Gods begins with a genetic engineering program conceived by the Smithwicks, a family of " Creators" who first improve on inadequate Homo sap (" preman") with two laboratory species and then come up with the " stargods." These powerful Frankenstein fabrications, however, send the Creators chasing back to their labs in a last desperate attempt to undo the consequences of their folly. A thousand years later, two " preman" waifs, Davey and Bugler, find unsuspected powers genetically programmed into their minds and bodies, and realize that they are to be the parents of the liberating " ultiman."
