6. Dr. Elder and the Homo afro-8 Species (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Twelve years have passed since Dr. Igarashi murdered Dr. John Elder's 6 adopted Afro-Martian children. Only Gloria survived, who is likely the last living member of the new Homo afro-8 species. This brilliant girl carries 3 mutations giving her an IQ of 380! John Elder is Captain of the expedition to Eris, a planetoid farther from the Sun than Pluto. They travel there aboard the fusion-powered Pioneer, and live in the habitat Gensanshi. On board is Assistant, a sentient computer, who knows nearly everything, and can reason incredibly fast. He has a will and morality, but limited imagination. John suspects a murderer is lurking on board, but he lacks clues and motive. Eris is so far out, that the Colonists cannot evacuate to safety. Can John and Assistant protect Gloria until she can propagate her new species?
