< A review by Cindy Lynn Speer

Bisso and Geaza are two young men sent three million years back into the
past -- to our present -- in order to become a catalyst in the evolutionary
chain of events. In this future, humans have attained all possible things,
they have evolved as far as they can go and they want more, they feel that
they can become more. So they create these two, genetically engineering men.
If they live at least 150 years, the chemicals that they shed through their
pores will give humanity the evolutionary shot it needs to fulfill a greater
promise. Bisso and Geaza are living quiet, if boring, lives, not knowing if
they've succeeded or failed, until a strange looking creature finds them. He
bears a message: that they've succeeded beyond humanity's hopes, and that
the future people of the Earth thanks them for their sacrifice. But as they
learn of the nature of this visitor, they are forced to wonder if they
really did succeed, or if they failed in the most horrific way. [etc] >
