Starburst magazine raved that Gemsigns, the first novel in a series, is "a fascinating and compelling read, exploring the boundaries of human behavior, religious influences, and the morality of the everyday person. It comes highly recommended."

For years the human race was under attack from a deadly Syndrome, but when a cure was found--in the form of genetically engineered human beings, Gems--the line between survival and ethics was radically altered. Now the Gems are fighting for their freedom, from the oppression of the companies that created them, and against the Norms who see them as slaves. And a conference at which Dr Eli Walker has been commissioned to present his findings on the Gems is the key to that freedom. But with the Gemtech companies fighting to keep the Gems enslaved, and the horrifying godgangs determined to rid the earth of these "unholy" creations, the Gems are up against forces that may just be too powerful to oppose.

Review:

"Well-written and thought provoking, "Gemsigns" is an all-around superb debut from Stephanie Saulter" "Bibliosanctum""

"Like all the best science fiction, the (r)Evolution series uses its speculative construct to examine aspects of modern life, in this case tolerance and the benefits of multiculturalism." GeekDad"

"Gemsigns is a modern-day dystopian masterpiece, and Stephanie Saulter adroitly weaves into her SciFi novel a mixture of politics, philosophy, science, corporate greed, and slavery. It's a book that will make you consider what it means to be called human."--The Guardian Liberty Voice

"Well-written and thought provoking, Gemsigns is an all-around superb debut from Stephanie Saulter"--Bibliosanctum

"It's more of an experience than just a mere story, a new world rather than a mere novel. It's very possibly one of the best things I'm going to read this year. Social sci-fi just doesn't get any better than this!"--Bibliotropic
