The Story
LAFE doesn't live in the forest. LAFE is the forest. When a pipeline project threatens to slice LAFE's brain, LAFE heals Daphne DeFreest, then seeks her help. But first they must heal her broken body and find a way to communicate. Then Daphne must find the love of her life, and they all must cope with their common enemies. This is their story.


What Readers Say
Its attention-grabbing, page-turning style and short-chapter format that quickly grabbed me and in no time at all I found I'd finished it and wanted more. Like Jerry's other books, such as First Stringers and The Aremac Project, it is full of entertaining and unexpected plot twists. Sometimes it really makes you stop and think—for example about cybernetics and emergent intelligence in a sufficiently large complex entity (such as a forest). I thoroughly enjoyed it. - J. Jagger


I highly recommend this plot-twisting, fast-reading book. It presents current social views in the context of an extension to reality (it is science fiction) that provokes consideration of unknown potential within the natural environment. It takes tree-hugging/(hugging by trees?) to new heights while exploring possibilities in our society and associations with other life. Weinberg expertly twines science and society, illuminating both, and creates reading that educates while entertaining. - Pat Medvick


I felt I really wanted some of it to be real. It's still residing in the back of my head, especially when I see some trees. I can't help wonder... Forests won't ever be the same again. I sincerely recommend this book. It's a book that's stuffed with action, intelligent (and occasionally unintelligent, but frightening realistic) dealing with problems. There are plenty of surprises in it. - Carsten Feilberg

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
