Location: Fort Myers, Florida USA		Darwin's Radio by Greg Bear

The only other Greg Bear I've read is Blood Music. It was okay; Darwin's Radio is much better. I heard an abridged audiobook version. It did seem occasionally that people knew things that hadn't been mentioned and occasionally there was a character who seem to just appear out of the blue, but if I hadn't known it was an abridged version, I probably wouldn't have noticed. Stefan Rudnicki did a fine job in narrating except for the voice of Marge Cross. She is describes as talking something like Julia Child - Rudnicki doesn't do a great Julia Child.

I'm tempted to read the sequel.

There were a couple of time near the end when I had a strong sense of de ja vu, but I'm sure I haven;t read this before. I read a lot of SF in the 70s and much of that has drifted into the fog of memory, but this was published in 1999.
