_Emergence_ by David R. Palmer
	I finally got a chance to find out what happened to Candida.
She was introduced in a novella in Analog.  There was a followup story
almost a year later.  David Palmer's novel has those two connected
stories as the first two chapters of the novel.  That is about 1/6 of
the novel.  It is very much worth buying.  I bought it yesterday
afternoon and finished it in one sitting.  I will reread probably this
weekend.  It is an after-the-holocast-with-the-New-Man novel but very
well done.  Candida (Candy,of course) is a new person and survives.  She
is eleven.  That's all the spoiler I will give.  Palmer uses a type of
shorthand prose that is quite short on articles, conjunctions and
prepositions.  It is understandable.  Candida's narrative is funny and
serious.  READ IT!
