Maximum Light

I've come to really like Nancy Kress. This is the first full novel I've read of hers and I enjoyed it very much. It packs a punch, much like her novellas. The only problem I had with it was that the ending felt a bit dragged out. It went on a bit too long after the big climax. Otherwise, I'd say this was a terrific book. It tackles the problem of the effects of the chemicals in plastics on our bodies. In this book, the effect is that it has reduced human fertility, so that few children are being born. This book was nominated for the Gaylactic Spectrum Award in 1999.
