Manseed

i must disagree with mr deubler i found this book to be a subtle exploration of the a beings true self is defender only the parts he was made to be or is he more all the while showing both the parts he was made from (the flashbacks) and the realities of the entire race ( the new colonists and the new type defenders ) also i find the colonization concept interesting from the perspective of both von neumann machines and the game i enjoy space empires ( 4 and 5) by malfador machinations

A great book to show that man can plan to keep the race going. A fantastic story of the future of man while showing the limitations.
