The Boys by Katie Hafner

 

A great story. I'm still not sure if I think the sudden resolution near the end is reasonably realistic or not, but there is--either way--a lot of interesting things going on here.

This was exceptionally good -- it went well beyond genre fiction.

The Nurse's Secret by Amanda Kenandore
