About this listen
The road to hell is paved with good inventions....
Emiliano Nowell was a world-class genetic engineer. He was also a wealthy and idealistic man with the time and money necessary to follow his dreams. In secret laboratories far from Earth he used his powers to create 100 genetically perfect children...an enlightened cadre Nowell hoped would lead humanity out of that maze of war, famine, torture, and death called history.
But the Golden People proved to be more intelligent than even he believed possible. Among other frighteningly advanced talents, they had the power to mentally influence normal humans. Now, one of them has become the group's secret leader. His goal is not to help humanity - but to replace it.

Aged poorly
This was included and I listened because I was curious if it's worth buying Saberhagen's Swords series. This one has vaguely interesting ideas but also very generic for its era, similar to A E van Vogt's superhumans in Non A. Also the character work is terrible, with flat, uninteresting, very old fashioned characters. There's some eugenics ideology in the villain, and at the end the characters sprout teleportation powers for no reason at all (other than the author having read and liked Non A). I listened to it at 2x and it still was a waste of time, not least because it's not representative of the Swords series, which is a bit (if not fresher) more interesting.
