Book excerpt: Modern-day Japan is the stage for a new form of hard science fiction, as author Nobuaki Tadano revisits one of the genre's Grand Masters, Hal Clement, in his debut series, 7 BILLION NEEDLES. Loosely based on Clement's golden age title Needle (Doubleday, 1952), Tadano's gripping homage follows the life of a teenage girl whose melancholy days are dramatically changed when her body becomes host to an alien life form caught up in an interplanetary manhunt.
