From the Author:
Mission Child
Mission Child grew out of a comment by Gardner Dozois, the editor of _Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine_. I sent him a story years ago and he bought it, saying the story was good, but that the world it was set in seemed very interesting--a place for a novel.
Mission Child grew out of a comment by Gardner Dozois, the editor of _Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine_. I sent him a story years ago and he bought it, saying the story was good, but that the world it was set in seemed very interesting--a place for a novel.
_Mission Child_ is set on a lost colony, another planet colonized by Earth and then lost for hundreds of years. I was trying to understand a lot of things when I wrote this novel; what it might mean to be male or female, and why it seems that a culture with more advanced technology always wrecks havoc on any culture with less advanced technology that it meets.
The first chapter of the novel was published in a much different form as "The Cost to be Wise" in _Starlight_, edited by Patrick Nielsen Hayden.
