| A World on the Brink of Violent Changeā¦ When an intelligent virus and an intelligent machine community conspire to threaten the world with destruction and chaos, the only person who can save humanity is the woman who caused the cataclysm in the first place.
In her book, Darwin's Paradox (Dragon Moon Press) ecologist, educator and acclaimed author Nina Munteanu explores the frightening prospect of an intelligent self-organized virus joined with a self-aware A.I. in a world preoccupied with issues of infertility and the residual effects of an industrial plague. Driven by an ambitious virus stirring inside her, Julie Crane sets out on a quest to save her family from the clutches of a terrified government. Instead she's abruptly caught in a web of intrigue...one that will betray her identity as Darwin's Paradox and define the evolution of humankind.
"Munteanu [has created an inventive and exciting future ... a mystery virus ... unsettling artificial intelligences ... and an indomitable hero," says Kay Kenyon, SF author of Bright of the Sky.
Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Rollback, calls Darwin's Paradox "a thrill ride that makes you think and tugs the heart."
Nina's award-winning blog The Alien Next Door (http://sfgirl-thealiennextdoor.blogspot.com) provides lively discussion on elements of science and science fiction, philosophy, and futurism, as well as spiritual and metaphysical issues.
