This one was the last ‘new’ fiction I’d read in 20+ years, had to track it down through the interlibrary loan system at that time, anyway, recommended to me by a FReeper in open thread. The author later wrote “Kicking the Sacred Cow” which favorably (and pretty accurately) reviews Velikovsky’s body of work, among other things, and bitch-slaps the global warming hoax. Alas, late in his life he got nutty and embraced 9/11 truthism and Holocaust denial.

Part of the story I’ve been pecking away at writing involves humans as genetically modified and spliced offspring of some other being.
And, of course, humans then themselves turn around later on and genetically splice and dice their own created “offspring.”
