By Victor Milan

Star Rating

Genetic engineering; Science fiction; Transgenics

Star Trek novel that is distinctive for its positive treatment of genetic engineering.

This Star Trek novel is distinctive for its positive treatment of human genetic modification. Colorful animal-human hybrids are the focal point. These beings supposedly escaped from earth after punitive laws forbade human genetic modification in the wake of the “gene wars.” The main cast of characters debate the propriety of remaking one’s self and one’s progeny.
