Rating: 3, Good, ordinary, story Recommended By: SFRevu:4
In an alternate Cold War, Marya works on a secret genetics project for Stalin, but her goals aren't quite what the Russians think they are.
Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The story tracks Marya's descent into madness and oblivion. The only point of the reprise at the end seems to be to tie up a loose end. It's amusing to see a universe in which Lamarck was right and Darwin was wrong.
Con: Marya is a really unlikable character. The reprise makes that worse. The British and Americans attacking the center seems odd, since that would have led to a real war in real life.
