Reviews

[Rain · Rating 4 out of 5]

Best of the 3. Although I disliked Becoming Human, Testament and Imposter have revamped my life-long interest in speculative science-fiction, especially that which is genuinely thought-provoking. While the characters in this novel are not likeable, or sympathetic, they are plausible. The aliens are well-drawn as creepy embodiments of the 'Selfish Gene' (eg the Sons).

I've loved 2 of the 3 other books she wrote - Becoming Human and Testament - and this book didn't disappoint. Her other book The Beacon was pretty good, too.
