	Teranesia: A Novel
		Teranesia is so small and remote, it's not on the maps, and its strange native species of butterfly remained undiscovered until the 21st century.
		Teranesia is the name given to a small, uninhabited island in Indonesia by young Prabir Suresh.
		Ending on a somewhat mystifying note, "Teranesia" nonetheless is a fascinating and compelling story of a young man journeying into the darkest reaches of himself, all wrapped inside a truly scientific science fiction novel.

	Teranesia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Teranesia is his kingdom, shared only with his biologist parents and baby sister Madhusree.
		The evolutionary puzzle of the island's butterflies that brought his family to the remote South Moluccas barely touches Prabir; his own life revolves around the beaches, the jungle, and the schooling and friendships made possible by the net.
		As Prabir and Martha begin to untangle the secret of Teranesia, Prabir is forced to confront his past, and to face the painful realities that have shaped his life.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Teranesia
		Teranesia is not a great SF novel, but it is a good one, and is strongest in exactly those areas where Egan's work has previously been the weakest.
		Teranesia is a hard science fiction novel that wants to be a novel of character, but doesn't quite know how to make it all fit together.
		Teranesia will do nothing to subtract from the author's reputation as one of science fiction's best idea men, yet the real strength of the book is Egan's growth in his ability to create a complete character, and in the display of a real sense of humour.

	Afterword
		I began thinking about Teranesia early in 1997, and I wrote it throughout 1998, which was a turbulent year for Indonesian politics.
		Attempting to write about the country's future when everything was in a state of turmoil was difficult; when I began, President Suharto was still in office, East Timor was still a part of Indonesia, and the Moluccas were still reasonably peaceful.
		I can only hope that the widespread civil war described in Teranesia does not eventuate, because as terrible as the actual tragedies to date have been, there is still the risk of violence on an even larger scale.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: Teranesia / Greg Egan
		Teranesia has the narrative accessibility and involving characters I thought Permutation City lacked, without relinquishing an iota of Egan's trademarked devotion to cutting-edge scientific speculation.
		Teranesia is home to Rajendra Suresh and his wife Radha, both scientists studying inexplicable genetic anomalies in the island's local butterfly population, anomalies so great they indicate that these particular butterflies might be an entirely new phylum previously undiscovered.
		When civil war in the islands leads to tragedy at home, the couple's children, Prabir and his baby sister Madhusree, are forced to escape Teranesia on their own.

	Teranesia - Greg Egan - Review - Teranesia: by Greg Egan
		TERANESIA is a marvellous concoction of emotional power, immaculately conceived characters and bursting with ideas that would have made a thousand other stories.
		Teranesia tells the story of nine year old Prabhir Suresh who lives with his parents in an otherwise uninhabited island in the Indian ocean.
		What follows is a relentless chase from island to island, unravelling the mysterious force that seems to lure every creatures' DNA which results in rapid and unexplained mutations, often seemingly backward.

		Teranesia is Egan's latest book, and extends some of the concepts which he begins to explore in Quarantine, but centers this time more on evolution than on technological advancement.
		Quantum physics are also explored, to a lesser degree but still very fundamental to the premise of the story.
		They even allow Prabir the honour of naming the Island - he finds the word Teranesia through his studies, a word which is to him both mysterious and exotic.

	Teranesia by Greg Egan, 0575068558, Lowest Book Price Finder
		Teranesia is the name for a Malaysian island given by Prabir, the son of two Indian biologists trying to uncover the secrets of genetic mutation in a population of butterflies.
		Set against continued political trouble in the region into the next decade, the story relates the personal guilt and anguish that Prabir, a nine year old boy who successfully escapes the island with his baby sister, carries with him into his thirties.
		Teranesia is a calmer work than any of Egan's previous works.

	[No title]
		She starts to uncover the secret of Teranesia, but Prabir becomes infected with the gene that causes the mutations.
		Although the technologies and the scientific mystery will hold your interest, the most engaging part of Teranesia is its exploration of how one man struggles with his past—how he learns to deal with his sense of responsibility for his sister, his love for his parents, and his guilt over his failings, both real and imagined.
		The ending of the novel seems a bit abrupt, but I recommend Teranesia for science fiction fans who are tired of SF cliches and appreciate an emphasis on character.

		The security forces have left them alone so far, which is something." But which turns out to be nothing: the children, Prabir and his baby sister, are orphaned shortly afterwards.
		Teranesia is an account of the youngsters' character development.
		The two of them go to odd, bohemian relatives, one of whom is a strident feminist and the other is her browbeaten partner, forced to agree with her views.

		Su Teranesia vive una forma di farfalle mutanti che sembrano sfidare ogni legge evolutiva, e i suoi genitori sono arrivati fin lì inseguendo alcuni esemplari nel tentativo di scioglierne il mistero.
		Prabir vede in Teranesia l'epicentro di tutti i suoi terrori, e che pensa che solo tenendola lontana potrà salvarla.
		L'unico valore che emerge da Teranesia, dalle sue mutazioni cieche e distruttive, dirette verso un bene solo astrattamente matematico, è quello dell'umanesimo.

		The adults were biologists who came to study a species of butterfly that showed a series of remarkable mutations.
		In Prabir's youthful imagination the island was populated with frightful creatures, so he named it Teranesia, monster island.
		Madhusree, who is working on a biology degree, wants to join a scientific expedition and return to Teranesia to continue the work their parents couldn't finish.

		Specifically, Teranesia is driven but only one idea.
		Two decades later, Prabir leave his loving partner Felix, a curator at the Royal Ontario Museum, and joins his now biologist sister in Indonies for some good clean scientific fun.
		Unusually for Egan, there are some obvious jokes in Teranesia, but I wouldn't go as far as calling the book a satire.

		Greg Egan's new novel is set on a remote Indonesian island where a young boy, Prabir, lives with his parents, who are studying genetic anomalies of butterflies.
		'' Teranesia is at once immediately recognizable as coming from Greg Egan and quite unlike, say, the cosmology opera of Diaspora or the cyber-metaphysics of Permutation City.

		Greg Egan's recent books and short stories of the near future-- Distress and Luminous --have combined their intellectually challenging scientific speculations with a good deal of human drama, and Teranesia continues this trend in his work.
		For evidence, check out not only Teranesia, but works like Diaspora, Distress, and Quarantine.

		The island is so small and insignificant that it has no name, but 9 year old Prabir gives it the name Teranesia.
		Teranesia is Greg Egan's fifth novel and perhaps his most human to date, less hard-core than much of his previous work.
		My reading Teranesia comes close after finishing Egan's Luminous.

		While Teranesia doesn't fully live up to Egan's previous body of work, it's a novel that shows promise for the author's next books.
