LIMIT OF VISION out from Book View Cafe!
Hey, in the mood for a new SF novel? Have you tried the work of Linda Nagata yet? She won the Locus Award for best first novel with The Bohr Maker, and her novella "Goddesses" was the first online publication to win a Nebula Award. So -- good stuff is promised! Here's what Limit of Vision is about:
"LOVs" are a tiny artificial lifeform containing bioengineered human neurons. Three young scientists illegally use implanted LOVs to enhance their cognitive abilities--but when the experiment goes wrong, the consequences are bizarre and unforeseeable. A space station module containing the last remnants of the LOVs crashes to Earth in the Mekong Delta, and the sole surviving scientist, Virgil Copeland, finds himself in a race to recover them--and avoid arrest. He meets Ela Suvanatat, an independent journalist infected by LOVs when she arrived first at the crash site. Together, they will ride the whirlwind of a runaway biotechnology leading to the next phase of human evolution.
