Eva (2008)
“Waking with it already at work in your mind.
Allies, enemies, schemes, failures.
Secrets.
Even in the minute-by-minute life of the Reserve, thinking all the time.
One day . . . somehow . . .
By the time Grog’s beard was long enough to groom again he could sit up, write letters, talk for an hour at a time. At the request of Stefan’s parents, Joan Pradesh had put Stefan back into coma and let him stay there. There had been the girl called Sasha and a chimp called Angel. Joan’s team had let them w...ake with their whole mouth working, and they had screamed all the time they were awake. They had done this for nine days, and then they had died.
It was supposed to be a secret, but Eva had told Grog and Grog had told a reporter he knew (of course). There was going to be a press conference this evening. The university was very jumpy about it because it was pretty well certain Joan would put everyone’s back up and then sponsors would get scared and funds would be cut. So they’d arranged for Eva to be there too, clever, famous, popular Eva, the whole world’s favorite cuddly toy—if Eva told people it was all right, then the fuss would die down and the funds would go on rolling in and that was all that mattered in the world .MoreLess
