   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) jamespurcell | Oct 23, 2023 |  Ell Donsaii is still remotely exploring exoplanets using her wormhole technology that has revolutionized space travel and several other technologies. She has passed her genius (the result of a neurotransmission mutation) on to her five-year-old son, Zage. Zage has an intuitive grasp of how proteins fold and is working on a gene therapy to correct obesity. Ell and her husband maintain a double identity to shield Zage from the dangers and distraction of their fame. But kindergarten is not the right place for him. The challenge for him will be to get adults to take him seriously as their intellectual superior. It looks as if Zage is going to become the central character of the series, which should be fun. Dahners continues to write entertaining hard science fiction with a clear “what if” premise. 4 stars. ( ) Tom-e | Mar 9, 2022 | no reviews | add a review
