Maximum Light
It is only a few decades into the future. HumanityтАЩs ability to conceive children has been severely reduced
by pollution and disease. Kids are scarce and desirable, adoption is almost impossible. Three people are
entangled in a life-threatening web. A teenage girl sees something shocking and illegal but is disciplined and
told she is a liar. She goes to an elderly doctor, the only one who suspects she might be telling the truth.
And a man wakes up one morning calmed by a drug that helps edit unpleasant memories. . .but with his
testicles goneтАж




Praise for Maximum Light
"You'll like this book because it's about you, and scary. As for me, I just caught myself thinking of it as
Maximum Hope. Nancy Kress comprehends the grimy will too, if only enough of us read her. Too soon it
cannot be."
тАФGene Wolfe
"Maximum Light is complex and more than a little scary, but hope eventually springs forth."
тАФSan Diego Union-Tribune
"Real characters dealing with real technology in a real societyтАФand a crackling plot."
тАФDavid Drake
"A marvelous novel; Maximum Light isn't just an enthralling book, it's also an important oneтАФSilent
Spring for the new millennium. In the best tradition of bells that we all must hear; read this book before it's
too late."
тАФRobert J. Sawyer
"Kress is an expert at realistically looking at how we might alter our species in exciting and interesting
books. She brings original, diverse characters together to explore these important issues."
