|author=Stephen Mark Norman
|reviewer=Jill Murphy
|genre=Science Fiction
|summary=Hard sci fi and space opera combine in this look at re-evolved humans in the distant future. Humanity, it seems, is sentenced to either defy or submit to its greedy and aggressive DNA, no matter what the galaxy. Enjoyable stuff. Stephen was kind enough to answer some [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Stephen Mark Norman|questions]] for us.

My thanks to the Literary Cinema Company for sending the book.
If the combination of hard sci-fi and space opera floats your boat, you might also enjoy [[Saturn Returns by Sean Williams]] that looks more at individual identity than DNA determinism. We also loved [[Matter by Iain M Banks]], [[The Lost Art by Simon Morden]], and [[Earth Ascendant (Astropolis) by Sean Williams]]. You might enjoy [[Theatre of the Gods by M Suddain]] too.
