OK, it's another tale of a generation ship---So? But this isn't just another tale of a generation ship. Elizabeth Bear has added some filips of the finest kind. Would you like wings so you could fly like a bird? Would you like to be impervious to radiation, with phenomenal healing powers? Would you like to be able to see around corners or be able to manage machines by thinking at them? Would you like to be able to acquire knowledge by eating an apricot instead of slaving over books for decades?
See what Bear has in store for the travelers on the good ship Jacob's Ladder.
