I‘d call it a scientific thriller. A bit dated as it‘s pre-2000‘s but interesting,

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 👇🏻
The explanation for the genetic process at work in this book about a plague affecting pregnant women was complicated and I'm still not sure I understood it correctly. It might have been a better story if the ending had happened in the middle; all the political and scientific machinations dragged sometimes. Published in 1999, it also felt dated in some ways. Still, the story was original and interesting enough conceptually that I kept reading.
Does anyone recommend this book? I love Greg Bear and am thinking of reading this one next. Blood Music is one of my favorite novels.
