"When Splash, the humanoid fish-creature, wakes up inside a hidden underground lab filled with mutants and unimaginable terrors, her first instinct is to make friends with everyone. But she quickly learns that it's a creature-eat-creature world out there, and some people are willing to do anything for power. Planet Alterra is billions of light-years away from the disgraceful, uninhabited wasteland known as Planet Earth. On the surface, it seems like the perfect technology-filled utopia, inhabited by both humans and anthropomorphic animals called power creatures, whose DNA was altered by the planet's chemical-filled water. But underneath the glossy exterior lies the inner darkness of the planet. Splash is very different to the other creatures. For one, her DNA was mutated to make her able to feel other people's emotions. And secondly, she's not supposed to exist. Will Splash be able to overcome the wrath of her villanous creator, or will she be transformed into the monster that she was intended to become?"--Publisher's webpage.
