The Chromosomal Code
A sudden ice age has driven Earth's population into the tropics, except for a few die-hards eking out a tenuous existence scavenging the snow-covered ruins of civilization. One such straggler is John Starkman, making his home in the frozen wastes of western Pennsylvania. Already an outcast because of a certain physical peculiarity, he saw no reason to join his neighbors in fleeing south.Then one day a spaceship comes to collect him and the other stragglers, and Starkman discovers there have been other changes besides the ice age. Aliens have landed on Earth. They say they've come to help -- but what do they really want?And why are they interested in him?A science fiction novel by Hugo-winner Lawrence Watt-Evans, back in print for the first time in over twenty years.

Entertaining, novel read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I liked this book. I read it years ago, and recently reread it. I thought it was an enjoyable read. It is 200 pages long, and goes pretty fast, and it had novel ideas. The aliens have come to earth looking for a yellow eyed human, and they find one. The story sort of goes on a roller coaster from there.
Ice ages, supernovas, genetic engineering, galactic empires.

In the 1990s, the Earth plunges into an Ice Age. Aliens come to rescue us, but really come to search for a person with golden eyes whose chromosomes contain the secret of how to blow up a star, encoded into his genes by a genetic engineer 35,000 years ago... A zillion wild ideas thrown at you machine gun style...a wild ride for a sci-fi-fan!
