Weeding out...
Julien Dumont is a Company agent with a very special ability. He can create exact replicants of himself, an ability which has been a great resource for the Company. Partnered with the stunning and deadly Sabine Hazel, they are a formidable team.

On a recent solo mission, Sabine's rouge [sic] clone target was killed. However, lying to both Julien and the Company, she falsely reported him as escaped. What forces are turning agent against agent; partner against partner...

Summary

Sabine Hazel suspects her partner is a liar, and she and Julien drive out to the forest, where Sabine asks Julien if he feels anything when his duplicates are killed. He says he does, before Sabine points a gun at him, claiming the man in front of her is not the root and therefore not the "real" Julien, which she suspects because of many messages she received from the mysterious evsdropr, who told Sabine that her partner was an "impostor". Eventually her partner admits he is not the root, claiming Sabine has never met the real Julien, as the company has kept him locked away for years. The duplicate says "I'm the one you love!" to which Sabine replies that she doesn't, before shooting him in the leg.

The story cuts to a year ago when Sabine is introduced to who she believes is the "root" Julien, and it is revealed they shared a relationship. Back in the forest, Sabine's partner promises to show her the root and stop lying, but Sabine kills him anyway. She drives back to a Primatech Research facility, where she sees other Julien duplicates, showing that her partner was not the root. She also passes Noah Bennet, who is being held in a cell opposite the duplicates. She uses her partner's security pass to access a door, where she sees a room with Julien in the middle, tied via machines to several of his duplicates.

Trivia

  • In the introduction to the novel, the word "rogue" is misspelled "rouge".
  • The Nissan that Sabine drives has the license plate "JDsiy88p".
  • Julien's towels are embroidered with the monogram "RGS". This is Jason Badower's way of saying thank you to Heroes Wiki administrator RyanGibsonStewart, who helped him with several references for the Root and Branch series.
