This is an amazing book, though I did throw it across the room at one point. Whatever you do, don't look at the end or peek ahead. The revelation is amazing when it comes at the right time (which is what caused the book to go flying), and is very powerful as it gradually sinks in.

From the back cover:
Police officer Dora Henry is investigating the bizarre murders of three geneticists. Meanwhille, strange things are happening everywhere she turns. Weeds are becoming trees; trees are becoming forests. Overnight, a city is being transformed into a wild and verdant place.

And, strangest of all, Dora can somehow communicate with the rampaging flora.

A potential civilization-ending catastrophe is in the making. The nearer Dora gets to a murderer--and to the truth--the more seemingly disparate events begin to entwine. And the answer she seeks today to the salvation of humankind may lie in a far distant future...one which is suddenly much closer than anyone imagines.

Release planned for Tuesday, September 30, 2003 at Mailed to another BookCrosser in College Station, Texas USA.

Traded for Gift of Magic. Thank you!

I just had to try a book that made the reader throw it across the room! I have a few others to finish first, but I'll journal again after I've read it.

Thanks for the postcard too! =)

Cleaning off the shelves in anticipation of a (probable) BIG move sometime in the next few months and this one just didn't make the cut. I'm being ruthless with my TBR pile! I know I'll read something by Tepper at some point, but this one's been lurking on my TBR pile WAY too long. Ready to pass it along... =)
