Has gene research gone too far? Is it ethical to patent part of the human genome? Is slavery coming back in terms of gene lines? All this and more are discussed in this science fiction novel.
The first half of this book is extremely confusing. This is because of the amount of characters that are in this book. The scientific concepts are extremely interesting and I can see a lot of the issues discussed in this book happening today. Eventually, everyone's stories come together and everything starts to make sense. But overall none of the characters are particularly interesting. The discussion of science is really the strong point in this book.
