โSuperb. . . . An exquisite saga of biological advantages.โ โDenver Post
In a world where the slightest edge can mean the difference between success and failure, Leisha Camden is beautiful, extraordinarily intelligent . . . and one of an ever-growing number of human beings who have been genetically modified to never require sleep.
Once considered interesting anomalies, now Leisha and the other โSleeplessโ are outcastsโvictims of blind hatred, political repression, and shocking mob violence meant to drive them from human society . . . and, ultimately, from Earth itself.
But Leisha Camden has chosen to remain behind in a world that envies and fears her โgiftโโa world marked for destruction in a devastating conspiracy of freedom . . . and revenge.
โ[Kress] explores the nature of humanityโs fear of differences in this elegantly written novel set on tomorrowโs horizon. A priority purchase for sf collections.โ โLibrary Journal
