Publisher's Notes
First Line: "In the beginning there were thirty-six of them, thirty-six droplets of life so tiny that Eduardo could see them only under a microscope. He studied them anxiously in the darkened room."
Industry Reviews
"Farmer has a talent for creating exciting tales in beautifully realized, unusual worlds. With undertones of vampires, Frankenstein, dragons' hoards, and killing fields. Matt's story turns out to be an inspiring tale of friendship, survival, hope, and transcendence. A must-read for SF fans."
Kirkus Reviews (07/01/2002)
"Farmer creates a complicated fictional world that is both plausible and original. The slow and uncertain evolution of Matt's awareness is dramatically effective and psychologically credible, and it brings with it a rising suspense."
