sorry to bother once again with questions....:(

ok, I'm interested in buying the novels Waiting and The Power by Frank M. Robinson.

in amazon many reviewers says that Waiting sucks! and the other novel the Power on amazon have only 2 or 3 reviews and most of them are positive.

I'm interested in those novel because of the recent discovery i have made of a scifi tv series called Prey from 1998.
and because i like scifi stories were humanity have to struggle with another hominid species that is more intelligent and sentient and superior to the old homo sapiens.

i also wonder if in those 2 novels, the author talk about evolution, survival of the fitness, Darwin, etc...? since i can not find more info or spoiler about those 2 novels.

i also want to know if Frank M. Robinson give a plausible and justified explanation in any of those 2 novels of his, of about why those 2 species of homo superior want to commit genocide against mankind or why they consider humans like lower animals.
in other words i want to know if the intention of those 2 new homo sapiens against humans are logical at all?

is there any explanation in both novels of were those 2 species come from? were they evolved naturally(like the vampires of peter watts)or were created artificially(like the neon sapiens from cartoon exo squad)?
are those both species in both novel more intelligence than us? and if they are...how much?

i need to know more spoiler before i send to buy both in amazon, please.

are there any other novels of others authors about this kind of genocidal conflict between humans and a new more updated and more intelligence hominid species?

sorry to bother with questions....again.:p

I can only comment on The Power, having never read the other.

The problem is that it is difficult to answer most of your questions without perforce providing major spoilers for the book. I think it's probably ok to say that the "new species" in the tale seems to be just a natural mutation or evolution (one would think mutation, since it is a sudden, major jump).

As to how they are superior, and their motivations, those would be big-time spoilers. All I can say is that this book has one of the very best final lines I can recall ever reading.

ok, i already bough in amazon both novels The Power and Waiting and now have to wait to arrive to Panama, now....

I'm looking for novels, tv series, video games, comics, movies, etc...who stories are about conflicts between homo sapiens against a new hominid species(that can be a better update version of the hominid species and are in several way superior to humans)that just arrived in a evolutionary way, please?

examples similar to these stories:

1-Frank M. Robinson’s novel Waiting
2-William Schmidt's Prey tv scifi series with a setting similar to "The Waiting" novel
3-Odd John: A Story Between Jest and Earnest novel by the Olaf Stapledon

so far i have only found those examples, i don't know if there are others stories similar to those with that kind of conflict between 2 hominid sentient species.
does anybody know other similar examples? please?
