About this book
In the Alps, an anthropologist finds the frozen bodies of a Neanderthal couple and their baby. In the former Soviet Union, investigators examine a mass grave of people whose pregnancies had gone wrong. Molecular biologist Kaye Lang realises these are linked: SHEVA, an ancient retrovirus buried in human DNA, has woken up.
Pregnant women lose their first foetus and begin carrying a second, with changes in the next generation. As fear spreads and governments impose quarantines, a virus hunter and Kaye race to learn whether the species is evolving. Winner of the Nebula Award.
