Darwinia: A Novel of a Very Different Twentieth Century

by Robert Charles Wilson

Tom Doherty Associates | July 6, 1999 | Mass Market Paperbound

In 1912, history was changed by the Miracle, when the old world of Europe was replaced by Darwinia, a strange land of nightmarish jungle and antedeluvian monsters. To some, the Miracle is an act of divine retribution; to others, it is an opportunity to carve out a new empire.

Leaving American now ruled by religious fundamentalism, young Guilford Law travels to Darwinia on a mission of discovery that will take him further than he can possibly imagine...to a shattering revelation about mankind''s destiny in the universe.
 
Darwinia is a 1999 Hugo Award Nominee for Best Novel.

GREAT, for the first part

Darwinia was really amusing, for the first quarter at least. I loved the world which Wilson created to take over Europe. It kept me guessing at every page I turned. Unfortunately most of the book had nothing to do with the nature. Instead it turned into some twisted sci-fi novel. Sci-Fi is good, but it just didn't entertain me as much as the fantasy section of the novel did. Wilson has a remarkable writing skill, and the way he manipulates words is impressive. I recommend this book even though I gave it a 60% approval rating.
