The Chromosome Game by Christopher Hodder-Williams is a terrific sci-fi/fantasy tale that will keep you guessing throughout the book. The world is ready to end due to nuclear war but to prepare for this, corrupt officials make an advanced sub that will be the life boat for the world. Unfortunately, these same corrupt, racist officials have made sure the computers in charge are also geared for their agenda also. This is a story told from a very unique perspective. It is a story of those babies born and raised on this sub and have escaped when they have run low on food and water. The plot is very action packed and unique. Fast to steady paced. The characters are well developed. The perspective that the story is told from is one I will not give away but one the reader will not expect. Made me feel trapped in the environments he describes. Well done. I love his stories and this did not disappoint. I received this book for a honest review from NetGalley and it has no effect on my review or rating. ( )

Not my favourite Christopher Hodder-Williams - strangely more dated than his earlier books. Worth reading though - as always his ideas are innovative and scientifically accurate. ( )
