Do Clones Have Souls is a provocative and imaginative political novel which explores ideas on race, culture, and religion through the eyes of Clones, America's newest minority group. Religious conservatives declare them inhuman, an abomination. The Supreme Court rules that they are unnaturally born and have no rights. The government needs them to fight in three wars, and corporations want to use them for free labor. The media exploits them, preferring ratings to truth. They have no allies and rely on the Replica Resistance to fight for their cause.
The central character Clint is a Clone who has never known the fear and suffering of the majority of Clones and is indifferent to their plight. He was bred by the Defense Department to kill our nation's adversaries. He is the Uberman, a Clone who has been a successful assassin, our nation's best.
But he tires of killing others and tries to quit. The government will not allow it and forces him to flee for his life. He is in constant danger, outwitting powerful and amoral men. These men are responsible for the nation's desolate condition. They keep Americans afraid and divided, stripping them of their basic rights and personal wealth. Their pursuit of Clint is unrelenting.
While fleeing his pursuers, he begins to seek the truth about himself. He is gradually drawn to people and ideas that change his thinking. He ponders the meaning of existence, love and the afterlife.
Suddenly his inward journey is halted when he is captured. He is given an ultimatum. He must kill again or lose the only woman he has ever loved. It is she who brings him to the Replica Resistance and to a fateful day that will determine his destiny and the nation's.
