A rapidly paced, tightly plotted story of a not-too-distant future when the planet is ruled by a powerful World Government. Overpopulation is one of its continuing concerns, and when the world's geneticists and biochemists are close to a breakthrough that will make possible the modification of the human embryo to remove unfavorable characteristics or to implant desirable onces, the World Government acts secretly and ruthlessly. In a swooping roundup, the scientists and their families are removed to a satellite orbiting the earth.
