Zero

Sims #4

by F. Paul Wilson

The fourth volume in F. Paul Wilson's series of novellas about a time and place very much like our own except that the science of genetics is decades more advanced, wherein the fates of a set of humans and a race of recombinant chimpanzees "upgraded" with human genes are inextricably entwined.

Book Four: Zero opens with the desperate search for Meerm, the mysterious Sim who carries a secret that can change the world, and closes as the even more mysterious Zero exposes his true self.

Wilson is also a part-time practicing family physician. He made his first sales in 1970 to Analog and continued to write science fiction throughout the seventies. In 1981 he ventured into the horror genre with the international bestseller, The Keep, and helped define the field throughout the rest of the decade. In the 1990s he became a true genre hopper, moving from science fiction to horror to medical thrillers and branching into interactive scripting for Disney Interactive and other multimedia companies. He, along with Matthew J. Costello, created and scripted FTL Newsfeed which ran daily on the Sci-Fi Channel from 1992-1996.
