Dr. Genene Nandini saved the world from a pandemic.
I wrote that story—The Blossom Project—in 2013 just after I finished my PhD. But saving the world has a price (as my fellow public health scientists and I are experiencing right now in the United States). For Genene, it was her daughter Isa. She made the choice to send Isa to her father, Jack, while she remained on an island compound to continue her work on countermeasures for the Pox.
Hero? Or Anti-Hero?
In Blossom’s Legacy, available now from the wonderful AntipodeanSF, you get Jack’s take.
