Fantastic! I had no idea it was so centered around genetics, which was pure bliss for the biologist in me. The book moved fairly fast, with a new twist practically ever chapter! I never knew where this book was headed!

It had alternating chapters of Elder and Amy. I loved the earth shattering revelations coming to light with another on its heels! It's hard to say anything really without spoiling something, but all I can say is I got some things right and a lot of things wrong. A great read! I tore through it in less than two days!

Also, loved how the dust cover for the hardback edition has a map of the ship on the inside that acts like a reversible cover. Just makes it all the more awesome! A whole world at the tips of your fingers. It had the feel of Star Trek only as far as the ship and hierarchy but then takes it in a whole new direction that is a mix of sci-fi, romance, dystopian, and murder mystery. Blends all so well!
