The Worthing Saga. Great book even if it's not the one you're looking for. OR it could be Treason- actually maybe more likely Treason, I think I was confusing the two. But both are excellent!

Reminds me of one of my very favorite books, The Worthing Saga.

I suggest you read The Worthing Saga

Everyone's right. This is the most recently printed book that the story is found in, I think.

I think she's mixing three books/worlds

While Dune had the Bene Gesserit breeding program (to make the Kwisatch Haderach/Messiah), I don't remember them even being red heads...

Heinlein did have some damn randy redheads in his world, but it wasn't so much a breeding program, as they liked to fuck, a lot. (and alots, if they existed)


Worthing Saga by OSC seems to be the closest match though... Quick and dirty synopsis is strangers come to a rurual village and stay at the inn to hire the inkeepers son to record their story. Part of the story involves a "gifted" human (called a "Slide", IIRC) who can sense surface throughts. He was sent away, with the intention of starting a new colony. Things went wrong (as they are wont to do) and he put himself into suspended animation for a very long time. While he was sleeping, his initial offspring on the new planet (which carried the gift) were interbreeding with the rest of the populace causing the "gifted" humans to eventually populate the entire planet, which they unite two warring factions in marriage. They MAY have been redheads, but I don't have the book handy to check.

Ask her if she remembers the animal that ate the ass cheek. :D

Okay but that isn't the point. It just sounded funny. The title would fit better if it was

I'm 50 years old and just getting back into reading.


See the difference? Just a little(apparently very little) humor.


But BOOKS!

World War Z

Worthing Saga


Thats about all I can recommend.
