  “Bear enhances the usual generation ship themes—social amnesia, decaying
  infrastructure, and mission-threatening grand calamities—with enough new
  flourishes, including a biotechnology-based class system and cruel experiments
  based on misapprehensions of Darwin, to keep readers happily engaged.”
