Customer Reviews

One of my favorite re-reads-

Fast moving reflection of personal courage and rising to meet one's life challenge. Main character's reactions to life's events are inspirational. You will immediately be drawn into this well fleshed out world/society, become attached to the characters and hope for a continuation of this story.

Captivating.

McDonald swept me away with his unique view of organicals amidst a futuristic world of modern day conflicts. I fell in love with Methembe, the lead character, from the beginning and the undertones of spirituality kept this novel alive. I highly recommend to anyone interested in a hard sci-fi novel.
