Summary
A scientist who has discovered a way to regenerate damaged or missing bodily organs runs into trouble when he tries to get his method approved for humans. As opposition mounts due to the political, legal, and ethical questions raised by the procedure, his greatest foe turns out to be his own brother, a doctor in his own right.

Media Reviews
"An effective mix of science, politics, and family struggle in a novel that should reach a wide audience."
-- Kirkus
"The story is told from multiple points of view. As if the characters were expert witnesses giving legal deposition, each one summarizes the most complex incidents in a few short sentences....In a novel entitled 'Brothers', you might think that the analysis of sibling rivalry would go a little deeper. But Mr. Bova, who has scientific concepts to explain and a verdict of world-shaking import to deliver, has no intention of getting lost in the non-physiological maze of the human heart." -- Gerald Jonas
-- New York Times Book Review

Publisher's Notes
Could humankind become immortal? Should humankind become immortal? A court has been convened in Washington to discuss the ramifications of a new scientific invention that could give just that--eternal life. On opposite sides of the courtroom stand two brothers. One believes the technology is unethical and dangerous, the other sees it as a momentous gift to humankind.

Masque
by F. Paul Wilson
Tristan is the perfect spy: He has no identity, no family, no friends, no face, no rights. Tristan is a "mime". Not a street clown...not at all...but an artificially created and cloned human whose metamorphic DNA can be programmed to transform him into a "masque" - a perfect genetic copy of anyone, even an imagined creature. Owned by warring corporate city-states, mimes can be turned into tireless workers, monstrous gladiators, covert agents - until the stress of assuming masques triggers a meltdown in a mime's flesh. Earning Selfhood - citizenship and a permanent form - is a mime's sole hope for survival. And for Tristan, Selfhood is one mission away. To claim it, he must enter the heart of an enemy corporation's impenetrable nerve center, steal top-secret data, and escape through a lawless, surreal hell of psychopathic cults and mutant undergrounds.
Beggars & Choosers
by Nancy Kress
In Beggars and Choosers, Kress returns to the same future world created in her earlier work, an America strangely altered by genetic modifications. Millions of ordinary people are supported by the efforts of the handsome and intellectually superior gene-modified, who are in turn running scared in the face of the astonishing, nearly superhuman powers of the Sleepless, who have their own agenda for humanity. The Sleepless, radically altered humans, have withdrawn from the rest of the race to an island retreat, from which they periodically release dazzling scientific advances. Most of the world is on the verge of collapse, overburdened by a population of jobless drones and racked by the results of irresponsible genetic research and nano-technology. Will the world be saved? And for whom?
Aftermath
by Levar Burton
The stunning debut novel from the star of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". The United States of 2019 is a very different place. Economic depression, an enormous earthquake, and the assassination of a black President-elect have turned the country into a war zone. Four people, each as different and troubled as the next, are the nation's last hope. But can they overcome the devastation and build a new world?
Well of Darkness
by Margaret Weis
Second in line for succession to the throne, Prince Dagnarus will have his crown... and his queen -- though his heart's prize is a married elfin beauty. Let his hated half-brother Prince Helmos and the Dominion Lords dare to oppose him. For Dagnarus's most loyal servant has ventured into the terrible darkness, where lies the most potent talisman in the realm. And once it is in the dark prince's hand, no power will deter his Destiny.
Beggars in Spain
by Nancy Kress
A tale of genetic manipulation by the author of An Alien Light.
