Sparrowhawk

Rating:
Summary: Interesting off-beat book
Review: Back when I worked with Tom on this, we had a lot of fun talking about using genetically engineered condors for personal aircraft and growing houses from tree seeds. Those stories grew every time we threw a few what ifs around in the world to come of genetic engineering. One day Tom sent me a copy of Sparrowhawk back in 1990 and lo and behold he dedicated the book to me. He took ideas that he provided the science and I provided the what ifs and turned it into a first rate novel of genetic science gone wild. But keep in mind, everything Tom writes in this book could happen, the technology is there, as he always reminded me. Highly recommend this book for a good read! Larry Haley

Summary: Interesting off-beat book
Review: This is a worthwhile book to read in that it contains novel, mind-broadening concepts in a decently written story that moves right along. It might become a classic in its own right, but is substantially lacking in all the stuff that is required for a book to be truly great.
