Falling Free by Lois McMaster Bujold
4.0
A sad but sweet story of the "Quaddies" and genetically enhanced creation of people with 2 sets of arms. The cover is powerful once you see what it portrays. The community that they all share, it shows 4 Quaddies holding hands as they are in free fall. To Freedom, is the hope.
I say sad because of how the Quaddies are used as "tissue samples" by the evil corporation and not "Beings" with rights. Sweet because they do end up triumphing in their bid for freedom with Leo, the fearless engineer, leading the way with Silver. I am glad it hints that they find happiness together at the end.
Very enjoyable story. Claire and Tony's planet adventure was eye opening.
