| May 18, 2016 at 23:44 | comment | added | user66341 | I've been looking for the exact same title for years (on and off). If anybody knows the title, this would be highly appreciated. If it is any help, I can provide a few more details avout the story. The first smaller human being created does not survive and dies of a cardiac arrest. The second and third ones survive and become the leaders of the new "species". IIRC, their names were Kapono and Modelo (sp?). | |

| Feb 17, 2016 at 15:54 | comment | added | LAK | Glad to help. I'll make my comment into an answer, in case it turns out to be correct. I read the 2 of those three books back in the early 1980s, but I don't remember enough about the plot (like the decapitations you mentioned) to know whether it's the right guess or not. I just remember the books have nothing to do with the toys. | |
| Feb 16, 2016 at 22:49 | comment | added | ChatterOne | @LAK I've had a look around and it looks similar but not exactly the same. I kind of remember the "Project Arcadia" though, so I guess I'll probably try and find a copy of that book to see if that's really the one. In case it is, you should know that you're practically a superhero for finding this out :-) | |
| Feb 16, 2016 at 15:02 | comment | added | LAK | I think I have a book (and possibly a sequel) whose title includes "Micronauts". A quick Google search turns up a lot of stuff related to the toys of the same name, and I don't have time here at work to sort through all that. The book were from the 70s or early 80s. Ah, here is the series: goodreads.com/series/57826-the-micronauts | |
