The United States in the year 2010 is a country ravaged by V-CIDS, a deadly mutation of the AIDS virus. With proportions reaching epidemic stages, the government has set up isolated intern camps--with shocking intentions! Ultimately a story of hope and human courage, this is a gripping and powerful novel from a master storyteller. Ads in Locus. HC: Roc.
A praiseworthy attempt at consciousness-raising, but with same gross flaws—in plotting, characterization, backdrop, and development—as Hickman's previous offerings.
