Perhaps the strongest of the Sim/Gen series, which had a strong following during the 70's. Fans of the Vampire filled with angst over the nature of his existance will love this. The series is set in the unspecified future when the human race has split into two species, the Sim who require a monthly feeding of the Energy produced by the Gen. Children are born neither, and at the onset of puberty, become one or the other. When the series opens the Sim and Gen are split into separate nations, with the Sim killing the Gen when they take their energy. However the population will be domed to extinction, unless a way can be found to take the energy required by the Sim from the Gen without harming them. This installment deals with the struggles of the house of Zeor to establish trust between the Sim and Gen and try to spread their solution of a Channel - a special Sim who can energy from Gens without harming them and then transfer it to other Sims

Began reading this excellent series as a young adult, and 25 years later still own my tattered old paperbacks. Will buy them as e books as quickly as they are published and enjoy a liesurely re-read without fear of the pages falling out!

This series is set in a future where humans have mutated into two groups: Gens who produce seln though they cannot detect it and Simes who do not who must draw the energy from a Gen to survive, killing the Gen in the process. The territory is divided into warring territories but there is a problem. One third of the children of Simes will be Gens and one third of the children of Gens turn Sime. There is no way to tell which it will happen to and it doesn't happen until the child is about twelve or thirteen. These novels are about a group who found a way to coxist without killing and their conflict with both the Sime and Gen societies. I bought this series in the paper version now I'm rebuying as ebooks.

I bought this series when it first came out in paperback. I've since lost those books to the moving gods! I'm excited to see them being re-released again in digital form since digital is the only format I buy now. I'm rereading the series to get to the new ones I haven't read yet.
