An Evolutionary Gigantic Leap!,
By
This review is from: Darwin's Radio (Paperback)
"Darwin's Radio" is the first novel I've read from Greg Bear. I am sci-fi fan yet usually those author defined as "hard sci-fi" ones are not my favorites. After reading reviews on this book I decided to give it a try.
Well I was delighted! The only "hard" stuff in the novel is Bear's excellent grip on bioscience (at least for layman as I am). He presents his background "facts" very plausibly, clear and by no means boring. The story starts with several different lines and characters spread all over the world. They will converge and contribute to increase action momentum. A dormant humankind feature is triggered by social stress and evolution is launched thru wild paths. How government, international organizations and individuals react to face this threat/opportunity is the core of the book. Characters are well described with real motivations, interests and human depth. The reader may empathize deeply with some of them and ardently hate others, which are another Greg Bear's strong point. It is a gripping and thought provoking tale. Do not miss this trip! Reviewed by Max Yofre.
