Reviews
"[A] brilliant tour de force…serious science fiction skillfully blended with elements of the suspense novel. Behind the narrative loom the questions raised in the Faust legend and in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: are the dangers of unlocking nature's secrets so great that limits should be imposed on the inquiring mind? And who is to decide?"
New York Times
"Johanna Ward reads this genre-crossing novel with panache and aplomb…Ward's tense tone and excellent pacing build suspense as the story's scope broadens."
