Hundreds of years in the future our civilization is shrunk down but we go on. There is advanced technology, there are robots.And there are clones.E. A. Smithe is a borrowed person, his personality an uploaded recording of a deceased mystery writer. Smithe is a piece of property, not a legal human.As such, Smithe can be loaned to other branches. Which he is. Along with two fellow reclones, a cookbook and romance writer, they are shipped to Polly's Cove, where Smithe meets a little girl who wants to save her mother, a father who is dead but perhaps not. And another E.A. Smithe. who definitely is.

Praise for Gene Wolfe

"Wolfe is our Melville."--Ursula K. Le Guin

"If any writer from within genre fiction ever merited the designation Great Author, it is surely Wolfe . . . [who] reads like Dickens, Proust, Kipling, Chesterton, Borges, and Nabokov rolled into one."--The Washington Post Book World

"One of the literary giants of science fiction."--The Denver Post

"Gene Wolfe is as good a writer as there is today...I feel a little bit like a musical contemporary attempting to tell people what's good about Mozart."--The Chicago Sun-Times

"Wolfe is sf's greatest novelist, and overall one of America's finest."--The Washington Post Book World

"Wolfe is a sophisticated stylist, and has more in common with writers such as Jorge Luis Borges than almost any science fiction writer both in terms of craft and themes."--The Boston Globe

"Quite possibly the most important writer in the sf field."--The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction

GENE WOLFE (1931-2019) was a winner of the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, as well as the Nebula Award (2), the World Fantasy Award (3-most recently for Soldier of Sidon), the John W.
