Sci-fi alert! Ian MacDonald, a doctor assigned to work with a Katanga tribe in Namibia, meets a youth named Kimba, who must run through lion and cheetah-infested paths every day on his way to and from school. Kimba’s running and academic accomplishments earn him a scholarship to St. Andrews University in Scotland, which happens to be Dr. MacDonald’s alma mater. At St. Andrews, Kimba meets and marries Seti, with whom he agrees to use his acquired cloning knowledge to cross-breed cheetah and human DNA strands for her to give birth to a super-fast son that they name Masemba. Kimba and Masemba are challenged to solve Masemba’s disqualifying cheetah-genetic predatory instinct of attacking other runners while on his way to winning Olympic gold medals in the 100 meters and marathon races. Masemba is also awarded the Victoria Cross for saving the Queen from an Al-Qaeda assassination attempt. The epilogue continues with Masemba’s use of his super-fast speed to help the Chicago Cubs win the World Series and earn him Rookie of the Year and MVP awards, despite his never having swung a bat.
