Начало книги
A world inhabited by two distinct and non-interbreeding humanoid species: majors (the majority) and outers. The two races are outwardly similar, but they have different talents, different genetics and different body chemistry.
In this world, meet major Troy Goodhart and outer Lexi Iona Four. They form an amazing crime-fighting partnership.

Troy frowned. ‘Er … I don’t know. Chocolate, I suppose.’
‘Well, imagine he’s covered in chocolate.’
