From Library Journal:
A race of aliens makes contact with Earth, encoding their knowledge in the form of a virus that, unfortunately, evolves into a deadly pandemic that forever alters the planet's character. Young's first novel blends a keen understanding of human nature with the desire to touch the utterly alien. A good choice for most sf collections.
