Join Varian, Isra and Ren as they battle to maintain every ounce of their humanity against a despotic regime determined to turn them into monsters. As prototype enhanced soldiers they have been raised in the lab and on the training quad, and now it’s time to unleash them on the world. Their adopted father, President of the Dex Industries weapons corporation and the newly formed Dex Island nation, uses every asset at his disposal to steer world politics… but some assets are easier to control than others. Beyond the borders of Dex Island, Varian, Isra and Ren discover new dangers… and new levels of freedom. The Dex Legacy is an award-winning full cast audio drama written by Emily Inkpen and produced by Alternative Stories. Website: thedexlegacy.com
