Darwins Children by Greg Bear
Evolution is no longer just a theory and nature is more of a bitch goddess than a kindly mother in this tense science thriller from the author of the Nebula Award-winning Darwins Radio‘A gripping evolutionary thriller that combines cutting-edge science with a compelling storylineIt's a novel that stretches the envelope of known science – which is exactly what science fiction should do’ P.D. Smith Guardian
'Bear's ability to tell a good story is surpassed only by his enthusasiam for the advancing edge of molecular biology … he might just be anticipating the next giant leap in our understanding of evolution and ourselves' Nature
‘GREG BEAR develops his characters extremely well, and there is plenty of action, too, in Darwin's Children … Bear is very good at blending hard science, politics and fiction, and this is one of his strongest novels yet. Convincing, and at times depressing, it tackles the difficult question of whether a government gripped by prejudice and fear can be prevented from wiping out its perceived enemies’ New Scientist
Greg Bear was born in 1951 and published his first short story sixteen years later. His first novel was published in 1979, and his most famous novels, Blood Music and Eon, emerged during the eighties and have now become established classics.
