The Sumner family has it all: farms in a fertile valley, a vast fortune, and a network of professional contacts. However, when an ecological crisis triggers famine, epidemics, and widespread sterility, the Sumners barricade themselves in their valley like a new Noah's Ark. In desperation, they turn to cloning to ensure their survival, but the experiment spirals out of control when the clones, gifted with superior intelligence and silent communication, begin to outnumber the original humans, determined to replace them as the dominant species. This acclaimed novel by Kate Wilhelm, winner of the Hugo, Locus, and Jupiter awards, is considered one of the masterpieces of science fiction regarding cloning.
Kate Wilhelm was an American author. She wrote novels and stories in the science fiction, mystery, and suspense genres, including the Hugo Award–winning Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang. Wilhelm established the Clarion Workshop along with her husband Damon Knight and writer Robin Scott Wilson.
