Neoprim - Zeta Trilogy, #1

The Genesis Faction has colonized a new world of primitive humans, attempting to hide from the intelligence-hunting aliens lurking between the stars. These newly primitive inhabitants of the Land of Eden are dubbed "neoprims". One neoprim per tribe every three generations is selected to join the world of advanced humans in the Land of Nod. Enter Zeta of the Scorpion Tail Tribe - a neoprim who must replay past experiences to piece together her fractured memory.
Oraxis and Genevieve worry they've taken on more than they can handle when Zeta breaks out of beta bootstrapping early, forcing them to call on the headstrong Jamji and her monster-pooch, Pepper, for help. When Zeta is faced with the unthinkable truths of the past, she's forced to decide between living in a fantasy world of her own creation or finding her purpose in this new reality. Neoprim is Rob Grafrath's debut novel.
It is the first novel in the Zeta Trilogy, and the first work of the Sapiens? Universe.
