Ray Nayler does it again with an amazing speculative fiction piece!! Going to the heart (or head) of extinction and the problems the world is facing of poaching. Truly a captivating story! Wish it had been longer

A classic for a reason!! Frankensteins monster (though I argue Frankenstein IS the monster) is such a captivating character that highlights the cruelty of the world and of having a heart. To love is not always to be loved
