Regenesis (Daw Book Collectors)
Starred Review. The long-awaited, intricate sequel to Cherryhs Hugo-winningCyteen(1989) brings events full circle. Brilliant 18-year-old scientist Ariane Emory, a clone, resumes the work of her original: psychogenesis, the cloning of psychology and memory. Fellow clone Justin Warrick tutors second Ariane, but when Justins exiled original, Jordan, returns to Cyteens research city of Reseune, he stirs up trouble and questions about who really killed first Ariane and why the clones of the participants in Cyteens original power struggle seem to be reprising the roles of their predecessors. Plots and subplots revolve around second Ariane as she desperately attempts to unravel the motivations of players alive and dead. Complex and rich, with beautifully rounded characters, this novel can stand alone, but will delight fans ofCyteenwith extra layers of meaning that resonate between old and new.(Jan.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
