Destined to live and die … OR live and die again Emery Kidd's perfect, if not mundane, life changes when she once again encounters Serafina Strong. If her rival were not so provoking Emery might almost be grateful for the new adventure Sera proposes. In the early part of the twenty-second century, the enforcement system Sera has worked for her entire life has been abolished. As a mediator of her community-a once-critical role in the system-she has suddenly lost her job and her purpose. Yet, instead of conceding defeat, she aspires to a new career as the heroine of the future and the human link to the past. She is uniquely qualified. In her multi-regenerative lifetime, Sera had died twice. By multiple acts of fate, not only was she revived, she was also granted the gift of prescience. However, the objectives of the challenge Sera lays before Emery and her friends are divided at the onset by separate agendas. Still, somehow and together, they need to veer the course of the future Sera has foreseen. This character-driven, speculative, science fiction, time travel adventure by the storyteller of "Regeneration X" and "Progeny." In "After Effect," the regens attempt to alter the timeline of regeneration. Let's just say, it's never an easy task when humans try to change the natural course of anything, let alone life and death.
