There is little doubt that Jane Jensen is a major sci fi / fantasywriter. This end of the world type book is a type that has been written before and hers is very good.The question of engineering the future of the human racehas become a very real "political" question in our time.The books talks about an world wide / corporate negative engineering plan.The removal of most of the people would pretty much solve the CO2 build up...It just is a very Nazi type of approach.I'm sure the popularity of this book made some peoplein power very nervous: enough that theyfound another Jane Jensen and made here a porn rock queen?For me it does raise questions at least that the rock queen and this book appeared about the same time.If she keeps this rate of popularity up for her books,Jane Jensen will be the future Clark or Herbert?Having read two of her books, like Michael Chabon,I can't wait to see what she writes next.
