Joshua, Son of None

3.8/5 ( ratings)

The better half of Mrs. Mike has soloed all on her own into Crichton territory & her story preempts your curiosity to begin with & then is ambushed with all the procedures & more doubtful morality of the brave new medical world. When, in 1963, a President lies dead, a few live cells from his body are retained by a dedicated scientist-devout atheist, Thor Bittenbaum. With the financial resources of an aggressive young millionaire, Kellogg, a child becomes the first...in his image & brought up clan-style, not tennis & social graces. When Josh learns part of the truth he runs away but eventually returns to be programmed for his manifest destiny--another presidency, another guess what... Even if the 1st donee suffers visibly thru all of this, & Freedman draws God into the argument, it's essentially pop melodrama of life, death & their "viable alternatives" in a suspension of suds. Clonees and donees--reasonable expectations both.--Kirkus
