Beggars Ride (1996) ­ Bettlers Ritt, Heyne SF 5883 (Oktober 1998)

 

Band 3 der Sleepless ­ Trilogie. Im 22. Jahrhundert stehen zwei Generationen der genetisch modifizierten Übermenschen, die "Schlaflosen" und die "Superschlaflosen" in Konflikt. Da auch die zunehmende Spaltung der normalen Menschheit in arm und reich für steigende Spannungen sorgt, scheint die Existenz der Menschheit in Gefahr zu sein.

"Now the trilogy is completed in Beggars Ride , a compelling novel of science fiction that raises one of the most ambitious and largescale works of the decade to the status of finished masterpiece. Kress, a writer who has been appropriately compared to H.G.Wells and Aldous Huxley, deals with evolutionary forces, genetic engineering, technological progress, and social and class conflict, confronting enduring issues that face human society in this century and the next...Nancy Kress has written a work of fiction that culminates and brings to new fruition the Wellsian strain of SF invented a century ago."
