I love this book. I was especially impressed with the science involved. One portion, (I am ashamed to say) made me cry. I can't wait for the next book. I hope there is a next book. This story begs to be continued.

5.0 out of 5 stars Startling ending!, March 28, 2003

You can't beat this story for keeping your attention. If you look hard enough, you can see the thread of some contemporary human problems addressed. The characters are what hold you and the story line can make you think (even if it does hurt your brain). But the ending puts the capstone to the book. It was unexpected...who are these people of the future, anyway? Even in the future, all is not what it seems and what we think we know about ourselves may not be what we need to know.
