A Noble First Effort by Bob Bliss,
By John O'Donnell (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A.N.G.E.L.S., Inc. (Mass Market Paperback)
A quick read. ... Wittingly or not, the author Robert W. Bliss affirms the Biblical truth that human beings do not live by the fruit of the poisoned tree without a touch of sadness.Robert W. Bliss, Ed D, currently a California-based professor of computer management systems, brings a youthful fascination with science and technology to this science-fiction novel - his first. He is to be lauded for taking on the challenge of writing his first novel as he approached an age suitable for a well-deserved retirement. The "A.N.G.E.L.S." in the title is an abbreviation for the extra-ordinary qualities of two scientifically engineered "human beings" who share the story's developments with three thirty-something, talented ordinary humans. At a time when the reading public's attention is drawn to news stories about cloning and stem cell research Bob Bliss has provided us a tale that can alert us to the glories and follies of some of our expectations. Science may get the science right (or almost). However, human nature being human, whether by natural birth or by scientific engineering, will always bear within it the inherent limits that go with the species. The author hints at this fundamentum with sensitivity and charm. |
