“This is a book that I read as a young adult, written for young adults, that I had always remembered fondly. I'm glad to say that it stood up to my expectations on a second read. It's about kids who grow up on a spaceship, having been raised only by a computer that controls the ship and created test tube babies when it was close to a planet that is earth-like enough for them to colonize. A lot of crazy stuff goes down, none of it the way anybody planned for these kids to grow up, and the novel is tightly woven. Plot and pacing are done well, as is characterization, setting, and prose. Most intriguing it asks a lot of questions about human nature without having those questions be thrown at us like we're stupid.”

“Really liked this book. For a scifi book written in the 80s it has aged well.”
