"SHEVA," a long-dormant mechanism inside human DNA, is modifying human evolution in a short, fast burst instead of on a long, slow trajectory. Politicians and scientists struggle for understanding amid the tension of civil unrest, political anarchy, abortion, choice, and mutation. There is even romance: a clumsy love triangle involving the three principal characters, all scientists of one stripe or another. This tale is as compelling as Richard Preston's The Cobra Event or Robin Cook's best work but with markedly better, often graceful, writing. Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Bear paces the plot well, offering ample excitement as well as good character development. Listeners who have forgotten their high school biology may tire of the techology-heavy language (quick, what's a ribosome?) but will endure and complete this intriguing "hard sf" story. George Guidall narrates fluidly, and his typically clear characterizations and subtle voice tactics navigate biotechnological tongue twisters with aplomb. Recommended for sf collections.DDouglas C.
