Changes , a story by Gene Wolf
(cover art by me)
Dr. Richard O’Brian is the Director of Genetic Research at S&W Pharma, a large multinational drug company with only one interest; the bottom line. Cures for sickness and disease are frowned upon. If a disease is cured there are no more paying clients. However, if a vaccine can be created to be sold to billions of people, well, that was just good business sense! Genetic research, and understanding how the immune system worked would allow S&W to develop vaccines for every illness known.
Dr. O’Brian’s painstaking research uncovered the computer like coding behind how all genetics operated. His goal, and that of S&W, was to find a method of supercharging the immune system by tearing down the genetic structure of an animal and rebuild so the immune system would operate much more efficiently. This process, Genemorphysis, is administered as a vaccine and takes months to run to completion. To test his discovery Phase I clinical trials were designed to turn one animal into another with a rebuilt immune system. The results were far better than anyone dreamed possible.
When reports from India indicate there’s a mutant superbug on the loose it seems the timing of the research couldn’t have been better. Unfortunately, as they discover just how serious this outbreak is, they also realize they have no time to finish the remaining two phases of their genetic research. Is anyone ready for the changes that are inevitably coming?
Other short stories in this ebook include:
The Trickster - A Coyote story told in the traditional American Indian tradition.
Karma - A story of Brightcloud who can track trails in time.
Challenge - Two old friends on the way to the tavern.
and several unpublished vignettes you will love.
The book appears to be no longer available online... aww
Personally I think it's a great book. I got the opportunity to read it and it brings to light a new perspective on "the origins of anthro". It's a great read, and for 99 cents you can't beat it!

My pleasure! And honestly? With your RAPT attention to detail, and great care for the structure of your pieces, I'll bet a realistic fursuit isn't out of the question for your abilities! Why not give it a shot? <3 I'll bet you'd be VERY pleasantly surprised. I mean- look at your sculpting work! And your anatomy! <3
I like real books too but I've found convenience in the eBooks. ^^ Some are cheaper that way too though I can't find all that I want sadly v...v
Like Greyhawk Adventures. I'd really love to continue that series. It's about a thief that breaks out of a dungeon and amasses a wealth. =3 Lots of fighting and sneaky sneaky. Currently working on the Dark Elf Saga. I read about 4 of the trilogies but I joined the military in 05 so I forgot my place now I'm skimming through.
I love anything with swordplay and armor, medieval times and dragons ^^

:D That means a lot, thanks again! It actually is for print if you're interested : http://fineartamerica.com/featured/.....ewartwork=true
Huh, I googled and tried to locate the book (and his other books) and I can't find any recent activity. His personal website doesn't exist anymore, and none of his books can be found anywhere. I've lost his username here too... his writings must be lost then or he's not writing at all anymore. :( That's a shame...
