Cyteen is a gripping and intense science fiction novel, set on the planet Cyteen in Cherryh's Merchanter Universe about 300 years in our future, when human cloning has become a reality. Ariane Emory is a brilliant scientist, and when she dies under mysterious circumstances, her successors create a replicate of Emory and struggle to duplicate her childhood environment as well, so that the replicate will grow up under the same conditions and become the same person; Cyteen is the story of the second Ariane Emory. The characters are complex and their relationships intriguingly tortuous; the plot is intricate (and I feel that I'll probably get more of it on a re-read); and the world is very detailed and convincing. Although it was originally published fifteen years ago, Cherryh's exploration of genetics, environment, and nature vs. nurture continues to resonate and fascinate.

Read it because I loved "Away". This wasn't as good. It's an average novel - enjoyable, but nothing to go searching for.
