Woman hoping cure for her genetic disease works on terraformed planet; becomes planet's hope against disaster Graysha accepts a terraforming position on a hazardous planet with the hope that rumors about illegal genetic research are true. However, Graysha's mother is the head of the Eugenics Board, and getting the locals to trust her is seemingly impossible. Without the research, Graysha's genetic disorder will continue to slowly kill her. This was a very well developed world with full, rich characters. The story was well paced and kept me reading long into the night. I look forward to reading more from this author. Highly recommended. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

***2019 Christy Award Winner, Visionary***A planet on the edge of life. A woman on the edge of hope. Microbiologist Graysha Brady-Phillips accepts a hazardous position assisting in terraforming the planet Goddard, partly to get out of debt and partly in desperate hope. There's a chance that the colonists are conducting illegal genetic research, which could provide a cure for the genetic disorder slowly killing her. But genetic engineering is banned by the powerful Eugenics Board, and Graysha is the daughter of the board's high commissioner. When the colonists discover her connection, she is ostracized—the possible penalties for conducting their radical research include death. Graysha tries to pursue her profession and befriend the colonists, but soon she is dodging attempts on her life. When her new world is pushed to the brink, Graysha must decide what she will cling to.
