What may happen when science becomes science fiction
12 Oct 1998
Format:Hardcover
For a person who doesn't particularly like sci-fi, I found Booth's book immensely readable. Like Michael Crichton, he touches on what happens when DNA is reconstituted. In this case, perfectly-preserved Ice Age DNA is injected into the egg of a present-day mother (the lead character being the UK's leading in vitro specialist). She gives birth to a child with mysterious and, unbeknownst to all except the doc, supernatural abilities. Surprisingly, it's not at all gumptious. Being a scientist and engineer myself, I consider much of it feasible, if not possible.
The plot is excellent and well-paced. There is one flaw to do with the way the doctor stores his computer files which I found particularly painful (insert Homer Simpson's D'Oh a thousand times) and not quite realistic enough.
Barring this, the novel was excellent and will leave questions in your mind.
