This week all the newspapers
and magazines filled up with articles and editorials about cloning. "Sheep
Cloned", "Monkey Cloned", "Scientists Play God", "Ban
Human Cloning!", on and on. Fortunately, science fiction in it's revered
role of preparing us for the future, has diligently thought-through and role-played
these eventualities. The ethical, moral and practical dimensions have an extensive
library into which Lois McMaster Bujold made major contributions.
This is her first major award in a prolific writing career that has already won 3 Hugos (1991,1992, & 1995). I read the last one, Mirror Dance, first which made Falling Free disappointing. Inspiring thoughhow much creative writing style, imagination and story-telling skills can evolve in just 7 years.
It entertains but without much excitement, holds interest without much suspense, cheers but borders on boredom. There's never much doubt about what will happen next. Even so and especially if you see any cloning in your near future, a good book to read.
