480 pages to say very little. A lot of repetition. The book is about the politics, corporate realities, and human emotions involved in scientific research. It was okay, but could have been done better in about 200 pages. (

Not exactly science fiction, but fiction about science -- research into biological organ regeneration and the religio-moronical opposition thereto. Suspenseful and gripping enough through its 480 pages.

First Ben Bova novel I read and really, really enjoyed it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it got a little too soap opera-y near the end. But as to how it illustrates the ignorance of some people in the name of religon was very well done. I was glad to see that the primary Christian character wasn't just pandering--he really believed what he preached. And on the flip side, the protagonist was just as passionate (and not evil).

I really enjoyed the way Bova switched perspectives from chapter to chapter. I thought that was unique. I'm not a big science fiction fan (outside of a few movies), so I don't know whether I'll read more Bova or not, but because I so enjoyed this book, I'll check him out more. (
