Description: In this final installment of Nancy Kress' award-winning Beggars trilogy, it is now two hundred years in the future.

Review Quotes:
"Kress brings her Beggars trilogy to a powerful close...The scale of Kress' vision is large as she lays out a drama that--convincingly if unsurprisingly--argues that moral quandaries can't be addressed by technology."
