The saga of humanity's destiny... Following a cataclysm, humanity has been divided into two mutant forms: the Simes and the Gens. Gens consider themselves to be the true humans, with little outward change, but their bodies produce selyn, an energy that Simes can't live without. The stronger and faster Simes develop the means to extract selyn from the Gens, a method that kills the Gen in the process. Gen communities are raided by Simes, the Gens rounded up and held in pens for Simes to use when needed. This is the saga of how these two disparate peoples learn to live as one. Sime~Gen: The Unity Trilogy presents three classic novels of the future struggle of humanity: In House of Zeor by Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Hugh Valleroy, a Gen, must rescue the woman he loves from Sime raiders. To do so, he must learn to cooperate with and trust a renegade Sime, leader of the infamous House of Zeor. In Ambrov Keon by Jean Lorrah, Risa Tigue, having just witnessed her father's death in a hurricane, stumbles upon a Gen man who saves her life and discovers that she is much more than what she seems. Can she admit the truth of this discovery? In Zelerod's Doom by Lichtenberg and Lorrah, Gen numbers are dwindling, which spells the end of Simes as well. As Gens rise up to fight back against the tyranny of the Simes, the two must find a way to live together or both will be destroyed. Sime~Gen: The Unity Trilogy kicks off a massive six-book series, featuring the reprints of all eight classic Sime~Gen novels as well as brand new novels and short stories. The Unity Trilogy will be followed in July of 2004 with the first new Sime~Gen novel in over 20 years, To Kiss or to Kill by Jean Lorrah! The Unity Trilogy will be available in both hard cover and soft cover. The hard covers will be shipped with a beautiful bookplate designed by Sime~Gen art director Patric Michael and autographed by Jean and Jacqueline!

"We consider ourselves a unique collaborating team since we work very differently from each other, yet easily rewrite each others prose to seamless effect. Though we disagree, often emphatically, we argue heatedly but never fight. How did this team amalgamate?
"Jacqueline Lichtenberg created the Sime~Gen premise while in high school, but refined that premise for over 10 years before selling the stories in her twenties. But under the impact of Jean Lorrah's creativity the premise matured.
"Jean Lorrah first learned of Jacqueline's Sime~Gen novel House of Zeor when a fan of Jean's Star Trek fan novel, The Night of the Twin Moons (NTM) sent Jean a copy of House of Zeor. Jean was so enthralled that she read it twice through in one weekend, and then wrote a review for a popular Star Trek fanzine.
"Jacqueline asked for it to be reprinted in the first of the Sime~Gen fanzines. Whereupon Jean bombarded Jacqueline with more critiques and questions. In response, Jacqueline sent Jean the working manuscript of Unto Zeor, Forever.
"Small but critical changes in UZ, F represent Jean's first influence on the Sime~Gen Universe. Unto Zeor, Foreverwent on to become Jacqueline's first award winning novel. Collaboration began in earnest with Jean's novel, First Channel."
