Story Behind The Book

The story evolved after Clonaid (a company founded by the religious sect called the Raelians, announced the birth of Eve, the "first human clone" in 2002 using the similar technique to clone, Dolly the Sheep. About 160 nations in the world have yet to outlaw the birth of human clones and others are allowing the creation of human clones as long as they are not put into a woman's womb (how do we know they aren't implanted?), add a kick-ass heroine, a sexy FBI agent, and a villain you love to hate, thus, REFLECTION was born.
