Suddenly trees become rampant, growing at a fantastic rate to conquer any spare land, block roads, take over unoccupied rooms in houses, and possibly cause the disappearance of babies, always the fourth child (at least) of a family.
Police officer Dora Henry suspects the plague of trees began in the garden of the home she shared until recently with her husband Jared. Meanwhile, Dora is seeking a divorce from Jared and investigating the murders of three geneticists who were all working to develop intelligence in other species.
And far in the future, when technology has all but vanished, two princes and their followers find themselves on similar quests that willtake them back in time.
Dora will find out about the future. The trees keep growing . . .

By the award-winning author of GRASS, and GIBBON'S DECLINE AND FALL and the novels of The True Game with Mavin Manyshaped.
