Solicitation:
- The world of Krypton is a world of emotion, culture and science that has reached a pinnacle, where the use of clones has granted Kryptonians near-immortality. However, this use of clones has bought society to the brink of civil war between the pro- and anti-clone factions. When a woman uses her clone to be her son's bride, resulting in her and the clone's murder at the hands of her son, the war seems inevitable.
