About
In this final installment of Nancy Kress's award-winning Beggars trilogy, it is now two hundred years in the future. Regular human beings hate and fear the Sleepless and the SuperSleepless, genetically-modified humans who are immune to disease and hunger and who do not need to sleep. When the Sleepless plot to take over the world and leave regular humans powerless, civilization and the very meaning of the word “human” hang in the balance.

Reviews
"Kress brings her Beggars trilogy to a powerful close…The scale of Kress' vision is large as she lays out a drama that-convincingly if unsurprisingly-argues that moral quandaries can't be addressed by technology."
Publishers Weekly
"Kress shows us the pitfalls in a world dependent on medical technology and the consequences for humans. Highly recommended for SF collections."
Library Journal
"Masterful…Kress continues in the same tradition of terrific storytelling."
