First volume of the "Organic Future" series. The genetic engineers aren't about to stop with genetically modified food. It won't be long before they're playing with houses and vehicles too, and someone is trying to kill gengineer Emily Gilman! The Chickadee at the bird feeder is the size of a Piper Cub, a Sparrow airliner is gobbling Buggies on the highway, a Mack truck is lunging across the sidewalk, and detective Bernie Fischer is flying his modified Sparrowhawk to the rescue.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I helped Tom create the concept for this compelling book,

This review is from: Sparrowhawk (Organic Future) (Paperback)
Back when I worked with Tom on this, we had a lot of fun talking about using genetically engineered condors for personal aircraft and growing houses from tree seeds. Those stories grew every time we threw a few what ifs around in the world to come of genetic engineering. One day Tom sent me a copy of Sparrowhawk back in 1990 and lo and behold he dedicated the book to me. He took ideas that he provided the science and I provided the what ifs and turned it into a first rate novel of genetic science gone wild. But keep in mind, everything Tom writes in this book could happen, the technology is there, as he always reminded me. Highly recommend this book for a good read! Larry Haley

3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting off-beat book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sparrowhawk (Organic Future) (Paperback)
This is a worthwhile book to read in that it contains novel, mind-broadening concepts in a decently written story that moves right along. It might become a classic in its own right, but is substantially lacking in all the stuff that is required for a book to be truly great.
