Dena Landon's Reviews > Mirabile

This book isn't really a novel, rather a collection of short stories about one main character, Annie, on the planet Mirabike. She and the other colonists are descended from humans sent from Earth. The stories revolve around the different "Dragon's Teeth" and other genetic abnornalitues that are cropping up & causing problems. For being stories about plants, animals, and genetics, they were a lot more fun than you'd think. I really enjoyed reading about Annie & her team's deductions. The book doesn't feel dated at all, perhaps given the strong female protagonist. Lately it's felt hard to find good scifi that's also fun & well-written, I'd recommend this collection if that's what you're looking for.
