Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang — Kate Wilhelm

Before becoming one of today's most intriguing and innovative mystery writers, Kate Wilhelm was celebrated as a writer of science fiction, acclaimed for classics like The Infinity Box and The Clewiston Test.

Now one of her most famous novel returns to print, the spellbinding story of an isolated post holocaust community determined to preserve itself, and civilization, through a perilous experiment in cloning. Sweeping, dramatic, rich with humanity, and rigorous in its science, Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang is widely regarded as a high point of both humanistic and “hard” SF and won SF's Hugo Award and Locus Award on its first publication. It is as compelling today as it was then.
