Book summaryA 1999 New York Times Notable Book.Media Reviews"If the suspense genre demands the illusion of an inevitable unfolding of events toward a revelation that, no matter how implausible, is impossible to disbelieve, THE EXPERIMENT violates every tenet of the form. And yet it is wholly engaging, for Darnton has found a world where fiction pales before the unbelievable truth." -- Neil Gordon, New York Times "Although Darnton has provided us a galloping tale, he hasn't originated any of these elements, merely harvested their 50th-generation versions, and as with any old cells, they are familiar and sapped of vitality. Still, the central anxieties of THE EXPERIMENT strongly reflect the velocity of our technologies and the godlike desires of our nature, which, we know, are set to collide in the new century, now nearly upon us." -- John Darnton, New York Times Book Review Publisher NotesAfter escaping from a remote island off the U.S. East coast, a human clone goes in search of his original, who turns out to be a journalist in New York. Together, they embark on an investigation to uncover the whole truth about the colony. Other Recommended Books
