I received an electronic edition of this novel several years ago
as part of a bundle when I purchased a reader program for my
PalmOS PDA, and only got around to reading it in odd moments over
the last few months. I've really enjoyed some of Greg Bear's recent
work, such as 1999's
Darwin's Radio,
so I was rather surprised to find this story disappointing. However,
that's just my opinion, and clearly at variance with the majority of
science fiction authors and fans, for this book won the 1994 Nebula
and Science Fiction Chronicle awards for best novel and was nominated for
the Hugo, Locus, and Campbell awards that year. The
electronic edition I read remains
available.
