Joan Slonczewski, author of "Daughter of Elysium," and "A Door into Ocean," is one of the field's leading writers of biological SF. Her new novel, "The Children Star," is an ambitious adventure set on the planet Prokaryon -- a world that is only habitable to humans who have been genetically altered. But disaster is close at hand when a greedy corporation attempts to alter the planet's ecosystem in an attempt to make it habitable for all humans. Spectacular and plausible world-building fun from an SF writer to watch., A triumphant return to the universe of "A Door into Ocean" and "Daughter of Elysium", this brilliant new hard SF adventure tells the story of a greedy corporation, whose plans to terraform a planet will signal the end for a simple colony of orphans.
