From the Back Cover
Batholomew, the limbless one, who records the life of his brethren...Lucas, the bodiless, who give his brethren names...Brother Alice, who delivers the words of the Fathers to the children of Conscience Place. To the outside world, they are monsters. To themselves, they are simply the People. America has cast them out of sight, out of mind. But you will never forget them.
Review

"A beautifully told story...a thought-provoking gem."--Library Journal
"Powerful...touching. The potent premise is rendered with restraint and imagination."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Leaves no doubt that the atomic age has bred a monster far more evil and lasting than than did Shelley's lonely Frankenstein." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Thompson has handled the subject of nuclear devastation adroitly, and raised and answered some troublesome questions about war and other human shortcomings....Conscience Place will make you think." --Seattle Times
