Darwin's Children (käytetty pokkari)
Stella Nova is one of the ‘virus children', a generation of genetically enhanced babies born a dozen years before to mothers infected with the SHEVA virus.
In fact, the children represent the next great evolutionary leap and a new species of human, Homo sapiens novus, but this is officially denied. They're gentle, charming and persuasive, possessed of remarkable traits. Nevertheless, they are locked up in special schools, quarantined from society, feared and reviled.
‘Survival of the fittest' takes on a new dimension as the children reach puberty. Stella is one of the first to find herself attracted to another ‘virus child', but the authorities are watching and waiting for the opportunity to strike the next blow in their escalating war to preserve ‘humankind' at any cost.

Veren musiikkia (käytetty)
Vergil Ulam on tiedemies huomisen rajalla. Hänen tutkimuskohteenaan ovat biosirut, orgaaniset tietoa sisältävät solut. Mutta sattumalta Vergil Ulam kehittääkin älykkäät noosyytit, jotka alkavat elää omaa elämäänsä. Pian niitä on enemmän kuin hiekkajyväsiä maassa ja tähtiä taivaalla. Ja ne valtaavat maailman.
Veren musiikkia on scifikirjallisuuden väkevimpiä romaaneja, joka leijuu unen ja painajaisen välimaastossa, mutta kuitenkin aina pelottavan uskottavana ja todellisena.

Dead Lines (käytetty)
Ring, ring. You're dead. We were all there in that city that draws its paycheck from the manufacture of ghosts, itself made of ghosts: Los Angeles. We were there when one man started handing out free talk. And we are there now, sad little dolls made of dust...Peter Russell lost a daughter to a serial killer. His marriage was the next casualty. Now he gets by as Mr Fixit for a film millionaire with a young wife on a big Hollywood estate infamous for its association with a historical scandal. The millionaire invests in a new kind of phone, the Trans. The problem with the Trans is that not only can you talk to your friends on it, you can also talk to the dead - though that wasn't part of the design spec. The Trans accesses forbidden channels. It has disrupted the exit routines of the recently dead to wherever they should have gone. At first, Russell is only haunted by his dead daughter. Now there are phantoms everywhere. Many are ghosts of the living, people with nothing inside them, called wraiths. A cascade of transgression and murder is unleashed as sales of the Trans take off. Harried near to death himself by his murdered child, Russell must find out who killed her and find a way to put an end to it all, if it kills him.

Queen of Angels (käytetty)
In Los Angeles in 2047, advances in the science of psychology have made crime a rare occurrence. So it’s utterly shocking when eight bodies are detected in an apartment, and not long afterward the perpetrator is revealed as well: noted poet Emmanuel Goldsmith. The LAPD’s Mary Choy—who has had both her appearance and her police work enhanced by nanotechnology—is tasked with arresting the killer, while psychotherapy pioneer Martin Burke prepares to explore his mind. Meanwhile, Goldsmith’s good friend and fellow writer reels at the news—while, far from all of them, a space probe makes a startling discovery.
This “excellent” novel about technology, identity, and the nature of consciousness is a thought-provoking stunner by the Nebula Award–winning author of the Eon series and the Forerunner Saga (Chicago Tribune).
