Or, if you're a biologist trying to avoid pseudoscience masquerading as the real thing you might want to avoid it altogether. The man writes decent science fiction, but apparently knows nothing about mutation and genetics.
Didn't we beat that point into the ground a few months ago?
I hadn't read it yet, so I avoided those discussions. Actually, I enjoyed the book quite a bit. I didn't expect the science to be real; I don't mind having at least one impossible thing in a novel, and I really liked the personal journey that Kaye Lang went through.
And I think "Stella Nova" might be the name of my next Electronic Music piece! (That or "Fiat Lux" -- I'm re-reading Brin's _Earth_ now that I've finished _Darwin's Radio_, and since I remember how it turns out, I started with "Ambiguity," the extra little story stuck in the back.)
Hmm, that reminds me, I have a question for the Good Doctor...
