Great Read...I picked this one up in the free book shelf of the Brooklyn Park,Mn library. The next very enjoyable five hours were spend a local coffee house , Dunn Brother, finishing it off. Had a few pages to go so I took it with me back home, Kempner,TX. Will send it travelin'.

Ben Bova is right up there with Asimov an Heinlein.

The rash assertion that "God made man in His own image"
is ticking like a time bomb at the foundation os many faiths."
-Arthur C. Clark

I would add the following..the time bomb fuse has been slowing
burning since 1980...the biblophiles now have the anti-science backing
right from the top...this book is takes off from that point..pitting
pure science against the "New Morality" a faith based group of ant-science overloads in control of the planet earth and beyond.
