In
tomorrow's world there are no more butterflies, no coral
reefs or rainbows. Appalled by what they've done to their
planet, people have lost all faith in human nature. Now
the cold logic of computers determines how they will live
their lives. And although old divisions of race, color,
and creed have disappeared, a new chasm has split the barren,
altered world, and it is deeper than anything that has gone
before. The line has been drawn between naturally born people,
Names, and those who have been genetically engineered, Numbers.
"Perfect Paula" is a Number; Ben Travis is a Name.
They are both detectives and they must work together to solve
a murder—a murder committed because someone, quite possibly,
has discovered the meaning of life and the truth about God.
The computers, and the governing EcoSystem they control, are
not happy.
Solving the case will give Ben and Paula the answer to age-old
questions, but it looks like they're going to have to pay
for the knowledge with their lives. Risking everything, and
overcoming bone-deep prejudice, they are forced to put their
faith in each other. In doing so, they discover things about
themselves, the past, and the future which no computer could
ever understand . . .

"Tomorrow's
World is
more than just a murder mystery. It's science fiction at
its best, provoking thought, teasing your mind with hints
of mystery, and taking you into a future that is all too
posssible."
~ Steve Lazarowitz, Novelspot
“…Davie Henderson paints a dismal picture of
a dying globe in this interesting science fiction police procedural.… This
is a fine start of what looks like a solid twenty-second cop
series in which, hopefully, Mr. Henderson explores the newest
form of prejudice by looking into the relationship between
the two cops.”
~ Harriet Klausner, Gotta Write Network
