The eye of the lion -
Chapter 13
A week later, Marina boarded Alitalia flight 5052 Rome-London, ready to embark on a new phase of her life, despite her fear.
She didn’t understand why, but according to what the blond man had mentioned to her the first time she saw him, she had been chosen from among more than two thousand women, from all over Europe, to assist the company in a delicate genetic process for which she had been determined by a superior computer to be the most compatible subject.

Now the future was, in her eyes, like the stunning, glowing sunset she could see from her window, reflected in the Mediterranean sea: A glorious, golden brilliance of heavenly light.
