Queen of Angels

Synopsis

In this brilliant, evocative novel, Greg Bear takes the reader into a strangely familiar, near-future world — and shatters our conceptions of perfection, punishment, and the elusive nature of the human soul.

"One is ultimately awed... it may be the most ambitious novel I've ever read". — Washington Post Book World

Three people investigate the crime--one a therapist who will enter Goldsmith's mind to search for answers. A mesmerizing work set in a tomorrow that is less than a century away. Reissue.
