Reading progress update: I've read 12 out of 371 pages.
The Snare of the Hunter - Helen MacInnes

Hang on. When I read the first couple of pages, I thought This was set in the 1930s or 40s. But it isn't. This is set in 1974!!

 

The writing reminds me so much of Above Suspicion, tho, which is set in the 1940s.

 

So, now that I totally have to adjust my view with respect to context, let's see how MacInnes deals with the aftermath of the Prague Spring and the Cold War setting.

“Rob Williams’ Sins of Variance poses one of science fiction’s crossroads in a difficult future of dark choices for the human race.”

 

Sins of Variance takes place 500 years into the future in Gloucestershire County, United Kingdom (near Wales).  Mankind has changed through genetic engineering, almost to the point of being unrecognizable from what we know today.  Advanced genetics has brought about a complete “optimal” set of genomes preferred by the society.   Though variation has been bred out of most humans, there are rare individuals with unique inner characteristics who have been deemed unacceptable by the society. They struggle because of these personal differences, and some find their world is not really what they have been led to believe.

 

The author would rate the book on the high side of PG-13 due to violence.

To any Litten who might drop by

Just on the off chance that someone from Litsy will show up here, I'd like to apologize for my very brief blurb about Fangirl. My iPad will not let me type anything I want. I'm sure there's a way to turn off that spelling correction thing, but if so I haven't found it and my sister (Minwynn here on Booklikes) who is a lot better at phones and iPads than I am, hasn't either. So sorry about that. I really try to post stuff on Litsy, but it's difficult. Here's hoping for a web version of Litsy soon.
