Twin-BredKaren A Wyle could be a scientist herself. She certainly thinks like one and writes with all the expertise of one.Twin-bred is an ambitious epic of a story set in a world we would not recognise, a world peopled by beings we'd find it hard to comprehend, yet this is exactly the problem Dr Mara Cadell is attempting to solve.Spanning 2 decades, and written, for the most part, like a scientific journal, Ms Wyle leaves no stone unturned in showing us just how difficult it is for humans and another race to co-exist in complete harmony. Her solutions are often ingenious and in some respects, outcomes might strike you as inevitable, but not always for the reasons we might have assumed before reading this because we humans are used to thinking of everything in terms of us and them. Dr Cadell makes us think differently and you'll have to read the book for yourself to see how.I found the book to be excellently written and presented though, if I am honest, for me, it was a little bit too scientific at times and rather too long for my attention span. Nonetheless, it is a first class piece of writing and deserving of a great deal of interest.Perhaps award-winning?
