Title: scince fiction exotica
Review: I enjoyed "The Meek" right from the start. The chief protagonists are all burnt out whether by disappointments, personal loss or the struggle to survive. The arriving engineers engage an environment in Ceres which is completely unenvisaged by anyone. Here they meet a human derived /designed race who call themselves, the Meek. The Meek are not only alien but possess a proven and very worrying pedigree of savagery. Yet, despite their motivations, their responses, and even their physiology and appearance, it is the achievement of this author that they are revealed as fully human.The last portion of the book takes the characters to another very different world where the coalition of new and old humans discover their dependence on each other. Thoughtful, excellent (but never preachy) SF.
