For my daughter Kathy
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
‘A remarkable achievement’
‘Intelligent, humorous… deeply moving… Morrow is a lyrical, inventive writer’
‘I have not been so moved by an SF novel for a very long time’
‘If Kurt Vonnegut had collaborated with Jonathan Schell on an antinuclear novel, this might be the result’
