I, too, read _Emergence_ by David Palmer in both Analog and in the
recently released novel form.  I liked it, on the whole, but thought
that the protagonist, Candy Smith-Foster, like Jean Auel's (_Clan
of the Cave Bear_, _The Valley of Horses_) character Ayla, was a
bit Too Remarkable.

It's worth reading, but I felt the promise of the first chapter
(which was presented as a novella in Analog) was not lived up to.
