The Klone and I - A High-Tech Love StoryThe Klone and I - A High-Tech Love Story

The subtitle, "A High Tech Love Story," need not frighten Steel's loyal fans. More fanciful than technologically snappy, this novel (her 42nd, after The Long Road Home) grafts one scientific wrinkle onto the usual romance.

During a trip to Paris, she attracts a suitor; Peter Baker is a fellow New Yorker - and everything Stephanie's been hoping for.
