BEGGARS RIDE Nancy Kress The death and rebirth of a civilization provide a powerful conclusion to the Beggars Trilogy Nancy Kress's Beggars Trilogy is one of the great SF works of the decade. It chronicles the rise of the genetically-altered Sleepless, a new breed of superintelligent humans, and their radical effect on civilization in the 21st century. "Real characters, complex scientific ideas, and a thought-provoking story with fascinating and troubling implications. I highly recommend Beggars in Spain." - CONNIE WILLIS, AUTHOR OF THE HUGO-WINNING DOOMSDAY BOOK Beggars and Choosers added new richness and depth to the trilogy. "With Beggars and Choosers Nancy Kress's position as one of our most important SF writers is assured. Kress uses elegant, eloquent prose, wonderful and believable characters, and fascinating speculation to come to grips with some of the most important and troubling questions of the late twentieth century and manages to tell a gripping story at the same time." - LISA GOLDSTEIN, AUTHOR OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD-WINNING RED MAGICIAN "Wow." - ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION "Intelligent, humane, involving, utterly genuine...magnificent." - LOCUS Now the trilogy is complete. Every SF reader must read Beggars Ride. "Her novel, rich and splendidly told, is both an apocalypse and a mitzvah, an assertion about the ineradicable goodness of people that reminds me of what SF at its best -- as in H.G. Wells -- can be." - COMMONWEAL ON BEGGARS AND CHOOSERS "Kress examines profoundly serious questions within a consistently gripping, suspenseful story. Nobody writes hard science fiction better than this." - MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE ON BEGGARS AND CHOOSERS NANCY KRESS lives in Brockport, New York.
