To Kiss or to Kill
Summary
When Jonmair establishes production of selyn-the biologic energy Gens produce and Simes must have to live - her Sime parents sell her into the Pens. She is a Gen, to be held until she produces enough selyn to serve a Sime, and then sold as a Choice Kill. Baird is Sime - but his greatest desire in life is to separate himself from the Kill. Living without killing Gens, though, is considered a perversion. His own father determinedly sabotages Baird's efforts. Baird and Jonmair live at a crux in history: the number of Simes has grown to equal the number of Gens. If they kill all the Gens, the Simes will die of attrition. The government decrees that all Simes must abandon the addictive thrill of the Kill. When Baird rescues Jonmair from the Last Kill, she suddenly has a life to live - and someone with whom to share her selyn. But can Baird, one of the wealthiest men in Norlea, also be the life partner Jonmair longs for as she struggles for life, acceptance, and dignity in a world turned upside down? Can love conquer all? Or will death triumph over love?

The Story Untold and Other Sime~Gen Stories
Summary
Tonyo Logan and Zhag Paget are the stuff of legend. Their music is the soundtrack of the turbulent period after the signing of the Unity Treaty, when Simes and Gens must figure out how to live as their leaders have decided - together! When from time immemorial Simes have killed Gens in order to live, and Gens have murdered Simes to keep from being killed, how can they change literally overnight? And how can music help? The three stories told here span the first 15 years of Zhag and Tonyo's partnership, from their beginnings as starving musicians to their heyday as international superstars, a supreme example of the creativity that happens when Sime and Gen work together. But theirs is also a personal story of tragedy and triumph, and the scars left by growing up in an insane world poised on the brink of destroying itself.
