The year is 2048. The world's energy requirements have done nothing but increase every year. But, thanks to the ichorious meteorites that fell from the sky in 2025, the energy crisis has been averted. Now any institution (such as the Ruxion Centre of Scientific Innovation) that studies ichor, the substance which is incredibly toxic but depended on by the world, is highly revered and rarely questioned.Vincent Vin Rodeon, heir of The Hotel (a profitable business boasting a rare ichor-free environment), is single-minded in his determination to expose Ruxion for their unethical practice of human testing, which he has so far been unable to produce concrete evidence of. But his vendetta goes deeper than a desire to stop the human testing; there is a more personal revenge he itches to take which is a constant plague on his thoughts and actions.A test subject escapes from Ruxion and falls into the hands of Vin and his group of hired scientists. She looks like a human but behaves like a feral creature, has no heartbeat and doesn't need to breathe or eat to survive. Not much more can be known about her as she refuses to comply with any attempt to scientifically observe her. Vin sees her as the tool he needs to carry out his goals and is determined to use her for his ends as the short-term comfort of a single person is less important than saving the lives of many. But she is more capable than she originally appeared and has a single-minded determination to escape his clutches...Breaking Point is a story of love and hate, control and power, violence and redemption.
