Book Description

1984
He is a finical giant but the Sponsor wants more, he wants to become a super human, to be the modern-day Adam, father to a new generation of humans with heightened DNA. He had the viral injection to change himself, the will to do it, and now all he needs is an Eve to join him on his journey. He thinks he's found the perfect match in Jean Sandra Norwich, a woman convinced she is trapped between the genes of her mother and daughter. The Sponsor offers her freedom and so much more, the chance to bet he mother of all Superbeings, but she will get more than she bargained for. CONVERTS is a masterpiece of science fiction and Ian Watson has superbly reworked Ovid's METAMORPHOSES to create an extraordinary futuristic tale.

Wells in both invention and impatience. -Times Literary Supplement (London) "For sheer inventiveness and intellectual brilliance, Ian Watson has already established a place in the front rank of contemporary writers." -The Sunday Times (London) --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
