![]() ![]() ![]() And the formula plot-Hannah, a little girl called to help two scientists in their experiments with merging, is torn by her vow of secrecy, her worries over whether the world should be told, and her fear of merging's personal and public temptations-is balanced by a novel circumstance: The scientists, along with Hannah's guidance counselor, some of her classmates, and other extras in the cast, are cats-members of the species Fells sapiens which began with an accidental laboratory mutation back in 2432. ![]() The associated rules are few and also simple (two inanimates can't merge thus you have to remove your clothes and jewelry before going into a wall), and they are worked into the story as needed. The basic gimmick-a newfound ability to ""merge"" with inanimate objects-is simple, yet sufficiently awesome in its implications. This unpretentious piece of soft sci-fi, set in the year 2778, has a few minor virtues and no obtrusive vices. ![]()
