S.P.A.R.

In Debi Wilder’s S.P.A.R., Reola Clark learns the truth about her birth and her parents. Reola Clark believes herself to be one of the first children produced by a spermdroid and uterdroid. On her thirtieth birthday, she discovers that she is just as human as her parents. Will she accept the truth of her birth and life? Will she return to her previous life and ignore her feelings?

Stu Whitager has waited a long time for this day. He promised his parents and Re’s that he would keep their secret until her thirtieth birthday. The day has arrived and he anxiously awaits Re’s choice. Will he finally be able to hold and love her the way he has dreamt of for years, or will he be left alone?

S.P.A.R. is a gritty futuristic tale where sex is outlawed and lust has been bred out of humanity via synthetic procreation. Re’s forbidden lust and sexual discovery resonated with me; I wanted to tell her that she had nothing to fear from her body. Debi Wilder deftly portrayed the loneliness of a world where perfection reigns and love is denied. S.P.A.R. is a tale of fervent yearning and love in a society where emotions are denied. As Stu assists Re to understand her concealed past and possible future, an evil rogue human waits patiently to devastate them.
