Mana

"A highly original debut novel about a scientist making a discovery that defies science. This spellbinding, challenging science-fiction work offers varied philosophical musings, intense discussions of medical ethics and other thought-provoking issues, and well-crafted, compelling characters. The unpredictable, imaginative plot draws from the author's interest in the scientific world and the basics of human behavior. Slavoiu's portrayal of Yuzuki's precise mind and kind heart help carry the plot along, which offers readers a puzzle as intriguing as the human mind itself. A fine sci-fi story about scientists attempting to discover the truth inside all of us." - Kirkus Reviews MANA (www.facebook.com/MANA.TheBook) is the first book in the "Bud of Core" series
