Book Review: Tomorrow’s Kin (Yesterday’s Kin Trilogy #1) by Nancy Kress (three stars)
“We’ve never discussed it. I’m a scientist, after all.” “You’re an American. Leave nothing unsaid that can be shouted from rooftops.”

“The farther one gets from New York, the more the conspiracy theorists don’t even believe there are aliens on Earth at all.”
