IMAGINE A WORLD... Half-human, half-machine, Voyager Isol was as beautiful as a coiled scorpion–and just as dangerous. Her claim that she’d found a distant but habitable earthlike planet was welcome news to the rest of the Forged. But it could mean the end of what was left of the humanity who’d created and once enslaved them. IMAGINE A FATE... It was on behalf of the “unevolved” humans that Professor Zephyr Duquesne, cultural archaeologist and historian of Earth’s lost worlds, was chosen by the Gaiasol military authority to uncover the truth about this second “earth.” And her voyage, traveling inside the body of Isol, will take her to the center of a storm exploding across a spectrum of space and time, dimension and consciousness. IMAGINE THE IMPOSSIBLE... On an abandoned planet, in a wrinkle of time, Isol and Zephyr will find a gift and a curse: a power so vast that once unlocked, it will change the universe forever. With civil war looming, Zephyr’s perilous journey will lead her to a past where one civilization mysteriously vanished...and another may soon follow. 1125408 2003 Natural History total:55|5:9|4:21|3:19|2:5|1:1| 55 197 108 11 3 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 18:37:36 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 09:03:37 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Aug 12 10:23:39 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 10:24:59 -0700 2008 Justina Robson's Natural History is a compelling tale of the first human encounter with an alien technology.
