Until Professor Eldon Franke recruits her for a study of Millennium Babies, a study that will change her life. Winner of science fiction's prestigious Hugo Award.


“Never one for melodrama or overwrought prose, Rusch concentrates instead on the slow and deliberate amassing of insightful, low-keyed incidents and details to serve as the foundation for some neat stefnal conceits.”
