Twenty thousand Corporate Security Force personnel are searching the Arcquius Resort planetoid for the rogue suspect, Kutch, who is accused of several mysterious deaths. Surrounded by the strange cult of Elvonians, Kutch has been hidden away in the vault of an eccentric Galactic Board member. Secure but helpless, Kutch watches the resort news feed as Alex, perhaps his only true friend, crashes into the biosphere lighting grid while being attacked by Cain. To protect both Li and Kutch from Cain, as well as for their own purposes, the Elvonians have extracted Li from Kutch. Not understanding their motives and desperate to have his AI back in his head where she belongs, Kutch uses some of Alex's unconventional techniques in an attempt to find and rescue Li. Enraged about Li being hidden and protected, Cain sets his sights on Kutch. Anyone protecting either Li or Kutch will face his full fury. Watching from an alternate dimension, Li is slowly discovering surprising new abilities and unexpected senses. But time is running short; she will need to quickly harness all of her new talents in order to save Kutch, even if it is at her own expense. Hereditary Evil is the second book of the Descendants science fiction suspense thriller series, written by Mark T. Bacome, spanning not only the galaxy, but hearts and minds, through multiple dimensions and realms of existence.
