Darwin's Radio

Some really cool ideas grounded in (as far as I can tell) real biology. I wasn't expecting it to focus so much on the political angles involved in an important scientific discovery, but that was neat too.

I did feel like it dragged at times and could have maybe been a bit shorter -- apart from the cool ideas, not much important happened plot-wise.

Excelente comienzo, agarra y no suelta. El sustento científico es notable, y la sucesión de historias y eventos prometen un final apoteósico que nunca llega.
A ésta historia se le hace necesario un nuevo epílogo o una continuación de forma urgente. Da para una saga completa, porque lo que Bear aquí comienza necesita continuar y desarrollarse. Así no queda la sensación de deuda o de que al autor se le acabó abruptamente la inspiración.

Short review: I found this free at the library and didn't realize it was an abridged book. I hate abridged books, I never know if they cut out the good parts or not. Interesting biological science fiction (near future). Not a great story, but an interesting book. Now I have to decide whether to go back and read the whole book, or just move forward and read the next book in the series.
