Book Description
================
From Library Journal
This recording, based on a Nebula Award-winning sf novel, centers on 
the moral dilemmas created when a bioengineered breed of humanoid workers 
are considered capital assets. The narration is shared between Michael 
Hanson and Carol Cowan, who handle the male and female roles, respectively. 
The narrators attempt to give each character a unique voice, and although 
they succeed, the subtle nuances of a single reader are absent. Perhaps 
more disturbing is the lack of messages instructing the listener on 
such things as when to turn the cassette over and when to insert a new 
cassette. The packaging is also a problem, as this reviewer cut his 
finger on two separate occasions while trying to extract a cassette. 
Regrettably, not recommended.?Ray Vignovich, West Des Moines P.L., Ia.-

From AudioFile
A secret, commercial, genetic-engineering project has produced a new 
species of human (quadies) who have two additional arms instead of legs, 
making them ideally suited to work in free fall. Michael Hanson's and 
Carol Cowan's narrative talents mesh nicely, creating distinctive voices 
for the Nebula Award-winning novel's characters through pacing, tone 
of voice and emotional shading. Conversation flows naturally--passages 
of dialogue alternate, and quote attributions are removed. Both remain 
true to the characters throughout, capturing the varying aspects of 
young, seasoned and devious personalities.
